We moderns do not believe in demigods, but our smallest hero we expect to feel and act as a demigod.

We moderns do not believe in demigods, but our smallest hero we expect to feel and act as a demigod.

We moderns do not believe in demigods, but our smallest hero we expect to feel and act as a demigod.

We moderns do not believe in demigods, but our smallest hero we expect to feel and act as a demigod.
