The speaker and occasion can change a title from praise into accusation.

Develop a heroic epithet
Choose the strongest implication in the title: divine approval, a defeated threat, civic service, travel, strategy, rescue, sacrifice, or a reputation shaped after death. Write the event in one sentence, then name the witness who turned it into a memorable phrase. Decide whether the account is literal, exaggerated, politically useful, or misunderstood.
Place the title in public life
Test the epithet during a festival announcement, military roll call, temple dedication, family argument, enemy warning, and later historical account. A title can honor the hero in one setting and burden them in another. Note who uses the full version, who shortens it, and who refuses to say it.
Keep a cast distinct
Compare nearby titles for repeated openings, images, and rhythms. Change a place, object, action, or consequence when several characters sound interchangeable. Search prominent published works and trademarks before commercial use, especially when the title belongs to a central character or series.
