If you remember the seminal work by Campbell, it's almost a requirement of the "hero myth" that the hero be both of noble ancestry and a "simple person." I think this follows through in Arthurian legend, greek myth (e.g., Perseus), star wars, etc. The Hero with a Thousand Faces, indeed!

Ironically, the hero of humble origins is itself a reaction to the previous noble hero. - 25/03/2010 11:04:01 PM 793 Views

I think he's simple because of the reasons you give for the nobility - 26/03/2010 01:17:39 AM 831 Views
