But USians have a whole mythology with hero-epics and grand statues to honor them its like something out of ancient Greece.

yeah there's a bunch of founder wank for the ancient greeks. it's also why a bunch of our civic buildings have greek (maybe athenian specifically? it's been a minute) architectural features
