2 The Heroic Pattern Hero s life generally follows a pattern The two fathers, his mortal dad, and his real father, who is divine Freudian interpretation divine father creation to alleviate guilt at wanting dad dead. Hero fighting against monsters (e.g. serpents) and protecting civilization against barbarians (e.g. Amazons) Hero may conquer death by taking trip to Underworld, or otherwise encountering and surviving death (twice-born).

3 The Hero as Redeemer Hero as Redeemer when humans enter fallen world, the world of time, of decay and death. Pattern seen in Prometheus and Theft of Fire Mortal hero, though, risks death Gilgamesh, the first hero in Western tradition, questions this premise desires immortality

4 Isolation of Hero Hero is often an enemy of one of the gods The hero s divided nature Wants to transcend mortality, but His efforts to do this isolate him from other mortals Normal people don t get his drive to succeed and excel Isolated from women as well Odysseus is an exception

5 The Hero and Society Hero is protector of society Hero travels a lot, adding to human knowledge base Hero often associated with particular city and with protecting city. Hero is also danger to city and civilization because of his violent nature

Perseus as King Accidentally kills grandfather w/ discus Trades cities with Megapenthes, and becomes king of Tiryns The Death of Perseus Is more successful in reconciling male & female, mortal and god Bellerophon, as rider of Pegasus, too headstrong

9 The Archetypal Hero: Heracles Son of Alcmena and Zeus Attempt made on baby Heracles life by Hera Known for his appetites and his impulsive nature Kills his first wife, Megara, and his kids Hera may have caused him to go crazy Labors given as punishment so Heracles can atone 12 Labors -- word athloi used ( contests to win a prize ) See book for the 12 Labors Death of Heracles Second wife, Deianira, sends poisoned shirt His immortal soul goes to Olympus and he marries Hebe
