The present study focuses on the works Grande Sertão: Veredas (1956), by Guimarães Rosa and on the epic poem Iliad, 8th Century BC, by Homer. An analysis of the hero construction is proposed through the discussion about the formulation of the heroic past and its actions in the epic, which ended up being received by Rosa's heroes. However, we note that the mentioned authors reflected, through their respective works, befitting aspects with their warriors in battles, their moral conduct, the use of weapons in conflicts, and the search for undying glory. Nevertheless, we found that each work is unique and its composition process is particular, we also recognize similar aspects, according to the Comparative Literature guidelines, hence the observance in heroes such as Achilles, Hector, and Paris, with the characteristics that are close to Diadorim, Riobaldo, and Hermógenes. Although, we will approach the themes of revenge and courage, dialoguing both with past heroes and also with the heroes of contemporaneity.
