English Translation
His victory made him a hero.
Einen Helden sounds plural to me, but the English translation is singular—warum?
As far as I understand - der Held is an N-noun:
Masculine and neuter n-nouns take -(e)n for genitive, dative and accusative
where an N-noun is
A masculine or neuter noun with genitive singular and nominative plural ending in -(e)n is called an n-noun or weak noun (German: schwaches Substantiv ).
And in this sentence einen Helden is the accusative case.
