Greek Mythology

[Sil-Abc]

Anyone take this course? anyone know alot about it? Im trying to find a figure that closely resembles a martyr. A martyr is someone that believes in something and dies believing in what they think is right. Examples include mahatma ghandi, MLK jr. I need to do a term paper and my topic was to do a paper on Antigone and modern figures but the professor said it will be too long lol so she suggested I use another martyr figure in greek mythology. Can anyone think of another one besides Antigone? is prometheus considered one?

Hercules was valued by the people and some of the other gods. His death was becuase he tried to save his wife. So he is considerd a martyr.
