This "Reader" collects 25 stories of heroes of all kinds from
around the world. Included are both non-Western and Western, female
and male, modern and ancient, young and adult, lowly and noble,
comic and tragic, national and universal, and historical and
fictional heroes. Failed as well as successful heroes are
represented, as are anti-heroes as well as conventional heroes.
"Hero Myths" offers not only an array of kinds of hero myths but
also a guide to understanding the myths selected. In a substantial
introduction, Robert Segal, a leading authority on theories of
myth, provides an overview of both the history of the study of
heroes and the history of the study of hero myths from the fields
of psychology, anthropology, folklore, literature, and religious
studies.
