name one hero who was happy.

was heracles, remembered in the stars, satisfied with his life? risen to glory and fame, but at what cost? the memory of his wife and child’s blood on his hands, their cries etched in his head.

ask daedalus, whose cleverness was no match for his love for icarus, if he was happy to escape confinement. to soar amongst the heavens only to watch his son plummet to his death, perished by his own creation.

and achilles, what of him, was he happy? the boy with the golden feet and lionheart, who upheld battle for a decade, to watch his beloved slain? to live out the end of his days grieving, yearning for death, was he truly happy?

once again, i must ask.
name one hero who was happy.
