Characteristic of or befitting a hero; brave, noble, and grand in scale or manner.
From Late Latin heroicus, from Greek hērōikos, originally describing language or style fitting for epic poems about heroes.
Heroical is the older cousin of 'heroic'—Shakespeare and Milton used it in grand poems, but English eventually decided the shorter form worked better, showing how language naturally streamlines itself.
