/his/, history, and the world in general is a pretty grim place and I feel as though all this negativity needs to see a glimmer of goodness in this world.
Any chance people know any stories about heroes from both historical epics and epic history who end up getting that much sought out happily ever after where they complete their life goal or gets the girl in the end?
>William Wilberforce
Spends his life trying to abolish slavery in the British Empire dedicating 20 years of his life in the abolitionist movement before passing the Slave Trade Act of 1807 which stopped the Atlantic slave trade. However this did not abolish slavery throughout the empire and it would take another 26 years for him to finally pass the Slavery Abolition Act, 3 days before his death. Imagine the accomplishment he must have felt is his last few days having helped his fellow man to such an extent.
>Odysseus
Spend 10 years fighting a war against the Trojans instead of raising your son and tending to your wife before then spending another 10 years sailing home struggling against monsters, witches, and Gods/Goddesses before arriving home and with the help of your brave son and loyal servants save your wife who has been faithful this whole time before taking her to bed making a banging tale in the process.
Anyone know any other Happy endings? My knowledge of Epics is pretty eurocentric and I would love to know a real life story of someone getting their waifu for laifu.
