How can everyone forget Odysseus? Not only his he the man, but he did fight monsters, and plenty of 'em, too.

In fact, Odysseus blinded and beat Poseidon's little son Polythemus.

if you want some ideas read the passage in the Odyssey where Odyseus visits the house of the dead maybe dread persephone will be a hero ^^

I think Heracles went to Olympus cause and became a god. But I think he was the only one. Everyone else went to hades. I think someone said there were different areas of hades too, for good, bad, and normal people.

Yep, there were different areas of Hades. I can't exactly remember their names, but most people went to Erebus, the Land of Eternal Boredom, where they drank from the waters of forgetfulness and lived empty lives. And if you were REALLY bad, Hades could decide to send you to Tarturus, the land of eternal torture. The most famous resident of Tartarus was Tantalus, who sat on the shore of a lake in an orchard, but the lake dried up should he try to take a drink, and the fruit shriveled when picked. There were plenty of other punishments Hades could devise, such as pushing a boulder uphill for eternity, or draining a lake with sieves.
So, in some senses, Hades has devil-like qualities, but he is more the equivalent of a nasty, bitter old man who throws vegetables at all the little kids who ride their bikes past his house. (If you were lord of the dead, wouldn't you be too?)

"Persephone ! Shouldn/t she be included aswell as she was not a god but more of a hero. "
She WAS a god, or maybe a demigod. Her mother was Demeter im pretty sure.
