A villain in a story is a character who has evil intentions that go against the hero's ways. The villain sometimes will be defined as the enemy or as someone who creates barriers for the hero to keep them from succeeding.
Archetypal hero's carry common traits that make them similar to each other but yet have differences to one another. Hero's are typically born in an unusual matter, have a heroic adventure, have a special weapon, have mentors and prove themselves while on their adventure. Both of these examples match up to being an archetype hero both in Greek culture and in contemporary culture. Hero's have many things in common but given in a different manner.
