The Final Hero: Beyond Immortality. 330 1 $a"Drawing on diverse disciplines including classics, anthropology, psychology, and literary studies, this product of twenty years' scholarship provides a detailed topology of the hero in western myth: birth, parentage, familial ties, sexuality, character, deeds, death, and afterlife. Dean A. Miller examines the place of the hero in the physical world (wilderness, castle, prison cell) and in society (among monarchs, fools, shamans, rivals, and gods). He looks at the hero in battle and quest; at his political status; and at his relationship to established religion. The book spans western epic traditions, including Greek, Roman, Nordic, and Celtic, as well as the Indian and Persian legacies. A large section of the book also examines the figures who modify or accompany the hero: partners, helpers (animal and sometimes monstrous), foes, foils, and even antitypes."--Jacket. 606 $aEpic literature$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc 606 $aHeroes in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEpic literature$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc. 615 0$aHeroes in literature. 676 $a809/.93352 700 $aMiller$b Dean A$0213762 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454582603321 996 $aEpic hero$91231402 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01253nam0 22002891i 450 001 UON00391337 005 20231205104613.614 100 $a20110412f1990 |0itac50 ba 101 $afre 102 $aBE 105 $a|||| 1|||| 200 1 $aLiège Jeunes Auteurs 1989$epoésie, chanson, contes et nouvelles, théâtre$eles lauréats 210 $aLiège$cH.
