Folklore is full of legendary heroes who may or may not have walked among us—Robin Hood, Johnny Appleseed, Mozart—but all of these possibly pretend protagonists have their roots in the heroes of classical mythology:

Hercules: Half man, half Zeus-baby, the ancient Greek hero known as Hercules is perhaps most famous for his nigh-impossible 12 labors—including wrestling the Nemean lion, giving the fabled hydra a chinchilla-style dust bath, and finding his Blockbuster Video card.

Beowulf: The epic story of this Nordic hero’s battle with the monstrous Grendel is one of the earliest examples of English-language literature, as well as one of the earliest premises for a children’s menu place-mat maze. Today, Beowulf is best known as the name of your brother’s previous band.

Gilgamesh: Not much is remembered about this ancient hero, other than his difficult-to-pronounce name and his unusual heritage—two-thirds god, one-third man—genetically attributed to two divine parents who both shared a shameful recessive human gene. In modern English, Gilgamesh translates roughly as “one who is incredibly hulking.”
