On the subject of Sancho Panza; he is likely mentioned a hero because in 'Don Quixote', he is fooled into believing that he is the ruler of an Island. Completely unprepared for the post, he still manages to be a just and fair ruler, until he resigns from his post because the responsibilities become too much.
Power easy come upon, used for good, then passed on. Heroic, yes?
