Lord Raglan

His mother is a virgin and he's reputed to be the son of a god. He loses favor and is driven from his kingdom to a sorrowful death. These are familiar themes. In The Hero, author Lord Raglan contends that such heroic figures from myth and legend are invested with a common pattern that fulfills the human desire for idealization. He goes on to outline twenty-two typical motifs from heroic tales and illustrates his theory with events from the lives of such characters as Oedipus, legendary figures of the Norse sagas, champions of the Trojan War, King Arthur. and Robin Hood.
