Off the top of my head

Greek: Odysseus, Perseus, Achilles, Ajax, and many more from the 
Iliad

Persian: Rustem, Sohrab

Arab: Sinbad, Ali Baba, Aladdin and many more from the Arabian Nights

Latin: Aeneas, Romulus & Remus

Irish: Finn McCool, Cucullin (I will be corrected on spelling on 
these)

English: Galahad, Percivale, Tristram, Gawain etc from the Round 
Table; Robin Hood, Hereward the Wake; 

French: Roland and Oliver

Australian: Ned Kelly

Not much on appearance, I'm afraid - mythical and legendary people 
are notoriously difficult to capture on camera; Ned Kelly dressed in 
plate metal at one point.  Robin Hood wore Lincoln Green.  All 
others in appropriate ethnic costume.

However,

Some talk of Alexander, and some of Hercules 
Of Hector and Lysander, and such great names as these. 
But of all the world's great heroes, there's none that can compare 
With a tow, row, row, row, row, row, to the British Grenadier.
