"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.

A la charnière de la littérature orale et de la littérature écrite, liant les cieux, la terre et les mondes souterrains, le genre épique est probablement le plus ancien et le plus durable que l'humanité ait cultivé. Fondateur de la culture européenne avec Homère puis Virgile, il connaît maints avatars selon les lieux et les temps, enchantant le Moyen Age des chansons de geste et de la matière de Bretagne, marquant la Renaissance avec Dante, s'absentant ou peu s'en faut d'une France trop " classique ", resurgissant avec le Romantisme et l'affirmation des nations et des cultures, et implosant dans les sombres volutes wagnériennes... Aujourd'hui, notre monde qui se croit désenchanté lui concède toujours une place, avant tout au cinéma (de La Guerre des étoiles au Seigneur des anneaux). Paradoxalement, il nous manquait un véritable travail d'exploration et de synthèse, propre à répondre aux besoins des étudiants comme des lettrés. Le voici, qui rend compte avec précision et talent tant de l'histoire du genre en Europe que de ses motivations, de ses thématiques (chants de célébration, de mort, etc.) et de ses univers de héros, de fées, de monstres et de simple humanité. Une attention fine est également portée aux procédés d'écriture et de récit : l'épopée sera toujours de l'ordre du chant, et de l'alliance rythmée des images et de la musique...
