• W2059522941 abstract "MOST societies commemorate heroes. There would seem to be, in fact, a rhythm in human history and human society which brings into prominence the element we call heroic-the need for depassemen!, for stretching human nature to its utmost physical and moral capabilities, the need for transcending humdrum reality by flights into the poetic or the legendary, or by investing the known and human with qualities properly belonging to the domain of the gods. The society for which, over several centuries, were set down the stories of siege warfare and high courage in the Iliad was a society which delighted in the heroic. The society which required its history to be traced back to Troy and embodied in a saga called the Aeneid was also a martial society which rejoiced in physical prowess. So also was the society of the Xth century which produced the Battle of Maldon or the Xlth century society in France which fathered the Chanson de Roland-this is a masculine world, tough and courageous and enterprising, and death in battle for one's lord is the supreme test of a man's courage and human quality. Rabelais's Pantagruel is of heroic stature and achieves superhuman feats, (though there is no undue stress on his having been born a patrician) and Renaissance society enjoys these heroics, which consort well with the excitement of the age-the discovery of America, the rediscovery (after Aristarchus) of a heliocentric creation, the invention of printing, and so on. The society of the French Revolution sees itself as similarly heroic, when Europe seems to fall in obediently behind a reawakened France, and the bare-footed armies of 1792 take liberty, equality and fraternity far beyond the confines of the French race. This can happen at a lower level of society: the folk hero, like Till Eulenspiegel in Flanders or Gaspard des Montagnes in Auvergne or William Tell in Switzerland, is a man to whom all things are possible, though he is not of high birth or high estate. In ancient times the 'hero' was a legendary person, sometimes half divine. Prometheus was a semi-mortal who defied the gods and stole the gift of fire to bestow it on men along with healing and other arts: his crucifixion on Caucasus made him truly heroic in the Greek legend. Hercules, the deliverer of Prometheus, was the" @default.
