Raglan's, 'Hero Scale'.[wikipedia]

The Hero

Raglan's best-known work, The Hero, A Study in Tradition, Myth and Drama, was published in 1936. The book's central thesis is that hero figures of mythology had their origin in ritual drama, not historical fact. In the book's most influential chapter, he outlined 22 common traits of god-heroes. They are:

• The hero's mother is a royal virgin;
• His father is a king, and
• Often a near relative of his mother, but
• The circumstances of his conception are unusual, and
• He is also reputed to be the son of a god.
• At birth an attempt is made, usually by his father or his maternal grandfather, to kill him, but
• He is spirited away, and
• Reared by foster parents in a far country.
• We are told nothing of his childhood, but
• On reaching manhood he returns or goes to his future kingdom.
• After a victory over the king, and/or a giant, dragon, or wild beast,
• He marries a princess, often the daughter of his predecessor, and
• Becomes king.
• For a time he reigns uneventfully, and
• Prescribes laws, but
• Later loses favor with the gods and/or his subjects, and
• Is driven from the throne and city, after which
• He meets a mysterious death,
• Often at the top of a hill.
• His children, if any, do not succeed him.
• His body is not buried, but nevertheless
• He has one or more holy sepulchers.^[1]

Raglan then encapsulates the lives of several heroes and awards points (marks) for thematic elements for a possible score of 22. He dissects Oedipus, Theseus, Romulus, Heracles, Perseus,Jason, Bellerophon, Pelops, Asclepios, Dionysos, Apollo, Zeus, Joseph, Moses, Elijah, Watu Gunung, Nyikang, Sigurd or Siegfried, Llew Llawgyffes, Arthur, and Robin Hood. Oedipus earns the highest score with 21 marks.

Thus Raglan calculated the likelihood that these protagonists were actual historical figures. Unlike Joseph Campbell, who published The Hero with a Thousand Faces in 1943, Raglan was not interested in the psychological or personal aspects of hero myths, only their factual basis.

The Hero established Raglan as a leading proponent of the "myth-ritual" theory of the origin of religion, whose antecedents included Sir James Frazer and the Cambridge Ritualists. The myth-ritual theory had a profound influence on literature and subsequently on literary criticism, reaching its height in the 1960s. Because of its succinct presentation of the theory, Raglan's scale is still frequently used as a teaching tool in cultural anthropology and comparative literature.

Significantly, Raglan excludes Jesus from the study, even though he "is reputed to be the son of a god", returned to his future kingdom, and met a mysterious death on the top of a hill, and was not buried. Raglan later claimed to omit Jesus to avoid conflict with his original publisher. The idea of Jesus as a god-hero is sometimes used by both sides in the debate over the historicity of Jesus.^[2]

 NOYTA...CCP?...


 You're the kind of person you meet at certain dismal, dull affairs Center of a crowd, talking much too loud, running up and down the stairs Well, it seems to me that you have seen too much in too few years

And though you've tried you just can't hide your eyes are edged with tears You better stop, look around Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown

 When you were a child you were a treated kind But you were never brought up right You were always spoiled with a thousand toys but still you cried all night

 Your mother who neglected you owes a million dollars tax And your father's still perfecting ways of making ceiling wax

 You better stop, look around Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown

 Oh, who's to blame, that girl's just insane


 Well, nothing I do don't seem to work It only seems to make the matters worse. Oh, please You were still in school when you had that fool who really messed your mind And after that you turned your back on treating people kind

 On our first trip I tried so hard to rearrange your mind But after awhile I realized you were disarranging mine
You better stop, look around Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown

 Oh, who's to blame, that girl's just insane

Well, nothing I do don't seem to work It only seems to make the matters worse. Oh, please When you were a child you were treated kind But you were never brought up right You were always spoiled with a thousand toys but still you cried all night

Your mother who neglected you owes a million dollars tax And you father's still perfecting ways of making sealing wax You better stop, look around Here it comes, here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown

THE BUDDHA (THE AWAKENED).

http://www.sacred-texts.com/bud/sbe10/sbe1016.htm

Not to commit any sin, to do good, and to purify one's mind, that is the teaching of (all) the Awakened.


 The Awakened call patience the highest penance, long-suffering the highest Nirvâna; for he is not an anchorite (pravragita) who strikes others, he is not an ascetic (sramana) who insults others.

  Not to blame, not to strike, to live restrained under the law, to be moderate in eating, to sleep and sit alone, and to dwell on the highest thoughts,--this is the teaching of the Awakened.
