Basically the title. In the US I've heard the fables of King Arthur and Robin Hood constantly. What are some other fabled heroes from antiquity that are less well known? Something from a non-Western culture.

William Tell is a Swiss folk hero. El Cid was a real person in Spain but has become a legendary character, as has Rob Roy McGregor. There's also Beowulf from earlier times. Welsh mythology is pretty cool I'd check that out for some knightly stuff, like The Gododin.
