Abstract
Entrepreneurial characteristics have long been studied with various level of success. We take a “metaphor” based approach to the classification of entrepreneurial traits and review popular analogies and artifacts created around the character of the “entrepreneur.” We discuss whether these characterizations have truly reflected the key traits of such individual or they have exaggerated virtues and vices.
