O knihe
The work provides a unique study of superheroes and gods in literature, popular culture, and ancient myth. The author selects a number of mythological figures (i.e. Babylonias Gilgamesh and Enkidu), ancient gods (i.e. Greece's Eros and Tartarus), and modern superheroes (i.e. the United States Superman and Captain Marvel) and identifies the often striking similarities between each unique category of characters. The author contends that the vast majority of mythological superheroes follow the same archetypal character patterns, regardless of each heros unique time period or culture. Each of the first nine chapters examines the heroes and gods of a particular region or country, while the final chapter examines modern descendants of the hero prototype (i.e. Batman and Spiderman) and several infamous anti-heroes (i.e. Dracula and The Hulk).
