description The paper analyzes Achilles and Hektor in Iliad IX and XVI, as well as Arjuna and Karṇa in Mahābhārata VI and VIII, aiming to compare both visions of heroism. On the basis of the analysis of quotes pertaining to these sources, two typologies are formulated: the ten qualities of the Greek epic hero, and the ten qualities of the Indian epic hero. As a conclusion, death and grief are proposed as thematic axes that are common to both the two pairs of characters and the two typologies of heroism.
