What is the difference between an epic hero and a tragic hero?
An epic hero is based on the Epic Tradition found firstly in the Epic of Gilgamesh, written in 2300 BC. He is usually a fearsome, strong warrior; always holds a position of power, such as Gilgamesh is a king, Beowulf is a leader of men then a king; he usually has some kind of religion; he learns something after completing a great journey; he is always concerned with his own mortality.A Tragic Hero was created by Shakespeare; he is the example of the 'human hero', for example 'Othello'. A tragic hero represents a human at his best, either as a leader of an army, a king, etc, but through the course of the narrative falls from grace. It is the concept that our human flaws (Greed, fear, jealousy) bring our downfall.(English BA Degree student)

Which of the following is the best definition of the term hamartia as it relates to tragedy?
Hamartia is the name of a game that literary critics used to play and high school English teachers still do. It is based on the notion that "tragic heroes" have a "tragic flaw", which is what harmartia means. It goes like this: select a character from a play. Do they die in the play? If yes, carry on, they might be a tragic hero. Then you can do one of two things: First, you can identify some characteristic about the character you don't like and call it a tragic flaw. Don't worry, nobody is perfect so you can find flaws in anyone. Or, you can imagine how the character might have lived if only he had done something different. Then you call whatever he did do a tragic flaw. OK, let's play the game with Julius Caesar. Let's look at Brutus--yes, he dies, so he could be the tragic hero--so what could he have done differently to avoid dying? I know! he could have been cynical and ruthless like Cassius. So we can say his tragic flaw is that he is a poor judge of character and trusts too easily. Oh, but hold on. Cassius dies, so he could be the tragic hero. Well, what don't we like about him? Aha, he's cynical and ruthless. So that's his tragic flaw. What about Julius Caesar? He dies too. Oh, but he's so arrogant and proud. There you go, a tragic flaw. (Arrogance and pride are favourite possibilities for the hamartia game. They are sometimes called hubris. In ancient Greece, hubris meant setting your will against the gods' but since that doesn't happen too often in literature these days, and the name is cool, hubris has been basically redefined as cockiness, or "tragic pride". Since a lot of the characters in tragedies are leaders, they are guaranteed to have this characteristic.) Does anyone else die in Julius Caesar? What about Cinna the poet? Well, he dies because . . . uh . . .oh, well, he's not really a tragic hero anyway. (Whew! got out of that one!) Basically, hamartia is a totally useless concept for understanding Shakespearean tragedy, because it is imposed upon the work by teachers and was not used by the dramatist to build his dramatic structure. It's only a game, and as a timewaster, you can probably find more entertaining games on your cellphone.
