The heroic exploits developed within Greek myths, as well as succeeding in athletic games, its historical correlate, define the archaic Greek world as a culture in which personal improvement and effort are favoured. Within this culture, the irrational behavioural aspects of its mythical heroes (understood as the expression of internal contradictions of the aristocracy) are solved through deeds in which, many a time, the hero is serving the interests of an individual who occupies an inferior hierarchical position.
