Re: should the Dragon be a simple guy or noble born? newyorkersedai Send a noteboard - 26/03/2010 11:42:35 PM
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. Fanatic-Templar - 25/03/2010 11:04:01 PM 794 Views

How can a commentary on millenia of legend and literature be "seminal"? Wouldn't it be the opposite? *NM* Cannoli - 31/03/2010 09:59:49 AM 309 Views
