Who do you admire from history, maybe some person from your country that contributed to get better the situation in your place of birth? Why do you admire him or her? What did she/him do?

I'm a historian by trade, so naming a single character in history is not really possible, but one I've really been digging lately is the Roman Emperor Julian the Apostate, sometimes known as the Last Pagan.  He came about 50 years after Constantine's legalization of Christianity, and he was the last real opponent of Christianity in the Roman world, favoring religious diversity and finding the culture-destroying austerity of Christianity offensively dull.  Had he lived to old age, we might have had a very different world today – but he was killed in a battle, possibly murdered by a Christian who opposed his views.

Julian sounds like my kind of guy. Maybe when i get that time machine we can do something about that early death.

 

I will admit a US bias, and say that one of my favorite historical people is Thomas Jefferson.

According to legend, Julian's last words were "Vicisti, Galilaee": "You have won, Galilaean."  Of course, in my poetic demi-pagan heart, I want to believe that the recorder of these words didn't hear quite correctly, and that the dying Emperor sputtered out a "nondum": 'not yet' in the phrase, that later history has forgotten.

TJ is also a personal fave, though he had many failings it's important not to forget.

Thomas Edison exploited Nikolai Tesla! But, that's what happens when you ignore the marketing side of things.

In terms of the modern world, Napoleon is probably the paramount individual.

In terms of human thought, Aristotle (ancient) or Kant (modern).

I prefer my flawed heroes like Jefferson to some "perfect man" 

(he who cannot be defamed)

 

But then I always preferred comic book heroes like Iron Man: bad heart, alcoholic, womanizer. (not that there's anything wrong with that last one)
