Why Queen Elisabeth II considered as a hero by British people (Myths and heroes)

        A hero is a person who is admired for their courage, their achievements and their qualities. It can be a person with superhuman qualities. It can be a person who has performed a heroic act, or a model we want to imitate. It can be:

• A patriotic or national hero
• An unreal character (book, film)
• An icon
• A role model, somebody who is your neighbour or a member of your family, a friend
• A hero can be unknown

A myth is rather a story that may or may not be true. There may be proof that a part or the whole story was true. It’s not always the case. Some parts of the story may have been made more interesting, more beautiful. Sometimes the bad parts of a story have been voluntarily forgotten, to keep the beautiful parts of it. In all cultures, there are myths.
