“Old myths, old gods, old heroes have never died. They are only sleeping at the bottom of our mind, waiting for our call..."

Obviously in life, we look up to certain people for inspiration to accomplish certain things. The basic idea of this quote is that we always remind ourselves of the great ones that have lived before us, and the things they have done which inspire us to achieve. Without the heroes to look up to and without the great things they have done we wouldn’t be the advanced race we are today. There is a cycle of inspiration because there is always someone before us who we look up to and want to be like. The deeper meaning of this quote is that everyone is a hero. I think “they are only sleeping…” represents the fact that we all have a hero inside of us that is waiting to be unleashed. This is because our individual self and consciousness are part of the collective consciousness of mankind. This quote is saying that if no one was a hero before us, we wouldn’t be able to release the hero inside of ourselves. In conclusion, I think this quote is saying that in life, the reason we can all become heroes is because of the fact that we can look up to all the great people before us for inspiration and motivation.
