: I marathon, it's easy to see who the hero with a thousand

: the hero mythos. But does that indicate who the Hero

Well, the hero would be the so-called anti-Leveller, because it is he who defends the world from the Leveller and orchestrates his defeat, and as the M2 epilogue says (paraphrased here): "In every Age a new hero arises to defeat the Leveller. The Hero is one who faces the Darknes with unflinching courage."
So, no one hero, but rather a hero for each time that nasty Leveller shows his face again.
