Perspective
The Heroic Age in Greek mythology is a period over the course of six generations from the coming of the Dorian settlers to Thessaly to the Greek return from the Trojan War. It was said by Hesiod to be one of the five Ages of Man, and includes the expedition of Jason and the Argonauts and the Trojan War. Its heroes are merely superhuman, not divine, and their exploits are celebrated in the literature of Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey.
