If you were to list the greatest fantasy warriors of all time -- a top ten, whatever -- who would they be? By warrior I mean a character who is primarily seen as a user of weapons who fights physically, not a wizard who fights with magic, though some magic might be part of their makeup -- so for example I'd put the Witcher into the Warrior category, but not Gandalf (though Gandalf does fight a lot with a sword, and you could probably argue he uses less magic than the Witcher).
I'm looking to create lists in two general categories: fantasy (ie. fantasy fiction -- Aragorn, Conan, Fafhrd, etc) and mythology (historical/cultural: Hercules, Theseus, Gilgamesh, etc). I realize there might be some overlap between categories.
So who are your picks?
(OK, here's why: we're having a contest to name a bunch of conference rooms where I work; warrior culture/references are good for that, and thematic consistency will matter.)
