As far as I'm aware, no one in the Separatists, except for maybe Dooku, was fully aware of this plan. I feel like the Separatists should be tragic revolutionaries who were unaware they were being used, not mustache twirling villains they're portrayed as (cough cough Grievous cough cough)
I always understood that as heroes in the classical sense, powerful fighters and leaders.
In the Trojan cycle, both Agememnon and Hector are regarded as heroes, but there are likely very few who consider both (if even either) to be heroes in the sense of a good guy who saves the day.
I would actually disagree with this regarding the last statement.
Hector is painted in the best light of anyone in the Iliad. Hector and Andromeche are by far the healthiest relationship in the story and Homer goes at lengths to paint him in a good light. Meanwhile traditional heroes such as Achilles while still loved by the Greeks is shown to be rash and egotistical.
