I remember this being one of two books, on the nature of heroes, I remember the book beginning with some sort of disscusion on the origins of the idea of superhuman characters that were larger than life, like Heracles also known as Hercules, but also pointing out how he wasn't the hero that Disney portrayed him as in their 90's movie about his life, I recall the cover featuring a face mask on a red background and the SECOND BOOK'S COVER WAS GREEN.
