i personally very much like the bhagavad gita and arjuna. he's a great example too. it all depends on cultural references. also, though i would say that while the bhagavad gita is superlative for its metaphysics, and arjuna a mythical hero, the story of odysseus is a bit more relatable (and i say this with hesitance) to 'everyman' because of the extent of his character development in both the illiad and odyssey. but again, it's just a personal/cultural preference.
