Epic Hero An epic hero is figure from a history or legend, usually favored by or even partially descended from deities. The hero participates in a cyclical journey or quest, faces adversaries that try to defeat him in his journey, gathers allies along his journey, and returns home significantly transformed by his journey. The epic hero illustrates traits, performs deeds, and exemplifies certain morals that are valued by the society. The ideal human.

The Hero’s Journey Monomyth, also referred to as the hero's journey, refers to a basic pattern found in many narratives from around the world. This pattern was described by Campbell in The Hero with a Thousand Faces (1949).

Heroic Steps Birth—hero usually has fabulous circumstances around his birth that establishes his pedigree. Call to adventure—hero is summoned to a quest by an external event or influence. Helpers/amulet—hero receives help in the beginning of his quest. The helper usually gives the hero a protective amulet or weapon. Crossing over—the hero must leave the natural world and embark on his journey. A common setting is entering a forest. Tests-the hero undergoes a series of tests that assess and proves his ability. Flight—the hero must flee to safety after battling the opponent. Return—the hero must enter the natural world again. This is marked by: an awakening, rebirth, resurrection, or a simple emergence from a cave or forest. Home—the hero arrives home with the power to bestow boons (favors) on his countrymen.

Epic An epic is a long narrative poem that celebrates a hero’s deeds. Earliest known epics were passed down orally and performed by scopes or bards (oral poets). Repetition of certain words, phrases, or even lines.

Repeated Elements in Epics Stock epithets—adjectives that identify special traits of people or things. Example: “swift- footed” used to describe Achilles in the Iliad. Kennings—poetic synonyms found in Germanic poems, such as Beowulf. It is a descriptive phrase or compound word that substitutes for a noun. Example: “the Almighty enemy” and “sin-stained demon” are used to replace Grendel’s name.

Epic Conventions Setting—vast in scope. Plot—involves supernatural beings and a dangerous journey. Dialogue—long formal speeches delivered by major characters. Theme—Reflects timeless values (honor, courage…) and universal ideas (good, evil…) Style—formal diction (writer’s choice of words and sentence structure) and a serious tone.

Literary Terms Alliteration: repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words. So mankind’s enemy continued his crimes. Caesura: a pause dividing each line, with each part having two accented syllables to help maintain the rhythm of the lines. He took what he wanted, // all the treasures
