did some research on japanese's differences between yuusha and eiyuu:

yuusha are men with valor like Siegfried who exterminated dragon, or like Japan's Nasu no Yoichi

eiyuu are men from legend、awed and envied and worshipped by the people, like king Authur from Wales, or Oda Nobunaga who is feared like the demon king also fit this category.

the big differences are in most cases of yuusha, they exterminate villain, challenge against a number of enemies alone eiyuu on the other hand, there are somewhat bad guys but still get called eiyuu again, even if the person doesn't fight personally, as long as they're good at war, they can still get called eiyuu

how does that translate yuusha and eiyuu into english, I don't know
