The word HERO comes from the Greek word ΕΡΩΣ, (in modern Greek: ΕΡΩΤΑΣ) meaning Eros, (the deity/God Eros).
That's true because ΕΡΩΣ stands for: (The) Quest. ( THE QUEST STRENGTHENS THE MEN. The man gets strengthened during the Quest. )
One perpetual quest is for love, so ΕΡΩΣ stands also as a synonym for "Love".
