Besides Macbeth and Oedipus, who is a tragic hero?

Agamemnon, Jason (from Medea), Orestes, Antigone, Dr. Faustus, Ahab (from Moby ). There are about forty Greek tragedies that have survived, each of those has a tragic hero. I've mentioned a few of them. Besides Shakespeare several other playwrights wrote tragedies during the Elizabethan period. Dr. Faustus was possibly the best known.
