Summary:"The studies in this volume support certain common, perhaps universal conclusions about heroes: All cultures have them; all cultures need them; who or what is considered heroic may vary from culture to culture; the heroes of a culture reflect or define culture values; communication is at the heart of hero creation and maintenance. This volume provides a survey and hopefully stimulates consideration of continuity and change with regard to heroes."--Jacket
