The human failing best referred to as "the cult of personality" has served up some strange "heroes" over the ages.
There's no shortage of emotional excess, wild-eyed zealotry, rapt devotion, or fawning celebrity worship in humankind. These are some of the behaviors we exhibit daily with varying degrees of intensity.
"Special" people are held up as figureheads for days, years, decades, millenia. The needs of the audience and the historical and social contexts of this phenomena provide all the explanation necessary to understand it.
