Hero Mythology
Original language description
Heroic Monomyth is a narrative pattern found in myth, legend, folktale, fairy tale, and fiction consisting in the characteristic "there and back again" journey of the main protagonist. The hero leaves the world known to him, crosses a dangerous threshold, and enters a (mysterious, magical, or just foreign) Otherworld. The hero is assisted by helpers and receives gifts from donors while confronting trials and challenges. At the pivot of the journey, the hero undergoes symbolic death and rebirth, is marked, and transformed, but wins a boon to be brought back across the threshold into the world of everyday reality. Extended forms of hero's myth contain also details about the conception and birth of the hero, who typically has divine or otherwise special parents but is being reared by a surrogate family of commoners and his life is in danger during childhood.
