Cool Here is some info about Greek heroes

For the moment I will give info for only 1 hero for the moment later more will follow as Greek I know the myths.
Perseus: From the city of Argos his grandfather was the king of the city and Danae was his mother. His grandfather from the oracle at Delfi founds out that Perseas will kill him.So before his birth he imprison Danae. Zeus saw Danae and like her he trasform himself to golden rain and meet Danae.Perseus was born later. Danae try to keep her son away from grandfather byt one day he discovers and put mother and child to a wooden box throwing them to the sea in order to die. A fisherman from Serifos found them. Polidektis was fishermans brother and a king there he fall in love with Danae, but Perseus was a tie for him so he announce that he is going to married Ippodamea and ask for everyone to bring a horse as a gift.He knows that Perseus was a poor fisherman so he could not find a horse and forces to leave the island. Perseus become angry and declare that since anyone can find a horse he can give a better present ,the head of Medusa.Ermis and Athina (gods) help him with his task by giving him advices.He has to pass from the nymphs first that gave him winged shoes to run faster than the wind the cap of Hades that made him invisible and a bag to put medusas head in. He pass then from the 3 old ladys (Yrees) By stoling there only eye (they were blind and share one eye) they have been forced to tell him tha way to medusa. Athina was holdin her shield so he could see medusas reflection without be petrified and killed her.
On his return he pass through Athiopia and saw Andromeda tied on the rocks near the sea.She was offered for sacrifice to Posidon. A huge monster was going to kill her. He fight with monster and defeat it. take Andromeda and went back to Serifos. He then show the head of Medusa to Polidektis who was petrified and anyone that saw the head. He took Danae and Andromeda and went back to his grandfather. One day in sports throwing disks accidentally he hit his grandfather who died. From his pain he refuses the kingdom of Argos and exchange it his the one of his cousins kingod of Tirithas.

To help you read the Greek names the right way here is some info.
Letter E e always pronounced as e in "bed" in "let"
3 letters in Greek for I-H-Y always as i in "six"
O is as in "stop"
Ou is the greek like "oo" in "soop" "school"
Y or G always as Y in "yellow"
A always as in "bad" "hat"
D always as th in "there"
So here some names must be Danai- Perseas-Medousa for the pronounciation to be right in Greek
