ABSTRACT 

One wonders what the importance of comparing the acts of heroism in Beowulf and Sundiata is, since these two epics are products of two distinct and distanced cultures. In the quest to find out the essence of heroism in this context, the researcher was compelled to study both epics, partly for its own merit and also to peer into the universality of heroic traits or otherwise. From the study, one would observe that both epics convey different storylines, but express comparable heroic views, in that both main characters possess similar heroic traits as well as uphold  identical heroic values. The study reveals the value accorded to each epic hero not only in their cultures, but the world over. The exemplary leadership qualities these heroes had and shared were both idolized and preserved which goes to prove that all human societies uphold their startling virtues of strength, bravery, courage and above all, the selfless services they rendered to their subjects.
