An archetypal hero is essentially one who is stereotypical to what a hero is, as an archetype is a symbolism. Such heroes go out of their way to help others, and are generally relatable and try to be kind and helpful.

According to Carl Jung, an archetype is an inherited pattern of response which comes from the Universal Unconscious. Archetypes are part of the psyche into which psychic energy flows in predictable ways. For example, my mother is different from your mother, but we all have a mother archetype which has many similar characteristics, such as nurturing, caring, feeding, etc. Archetypes are very useful in dream analysis.

An archetype is an original model of something upon which all further examples are modelled or emulated.
