Mytho-Historical Heroes: The Raglan Archetype in Application to Ancient Mediterranean Persons

Original language description

Previous studies on the Raglan archetype have focused on identifying classical heroes and deities as conforming to the archetype, figures like Herakles, Romulus, Jesus, etc. However, these same studies have often emphasized that historical figures do not regularly conform to the Raglan archetype. Investigating the issue, we find that there are two main reasons for this: (1) the archetype&apos;s specific points are often interpreted in non-objective and contradictory ways, leading to historical figures being excused from the Raglan archetype, and (2) there has been very little investigation into Greco-Roman historical figures and the degree to which their narratives conform to the archetype to begin with. This paper seeks to remedy both, proposing a more standardized interpretive framework for each of Raglan&apos;s twenty-two points, as well as applying them successfully to thirty-three historical personages from the ancient Mediterranean world. This has large ramifications on future studies on early Christianity, Greco-Roman history, and the the Raglan archetype.
