Is there any update on the status of this?  I read on the forums that the manuscript (first draft?) for this was turned in over 10 years ago.

There's also the awkward fact that "Myrmidon" has the contemporary meaning of "a follower or subordinate of a powerful person, typically one who is unscrupulous or carries out orders unquestioningly." e.g. "one of Hitler's myrmidons."

I cast my vote for Areté  (er-ruh-TAY) which is arguably the Greek ancestor of "chivalry."  It means excellence, virtue, fulfilling one's purpose or potential.  The Homeric heroes had surpassing Areté. 

At the very least, in the rules a bonus of "Armor of Areté" should granted to those heroes who have 16 or greater in the relevant virtuous traits.
