Peter Levi
Publication Details
Book, 1st U.S. ed, St. Martin’s Press, 1999

Somewhere I Have Never Travelled : The Second Self And The Hero’s Journey In Ancient Epic

Attribution
Thomas Van Nortwick
Publication Details
Book, Oxford University Press, 1992
Description
Exploring the hero’s journey as a metaphor for spiritual evolution in The Epic of Gilgamesh, Homer’s Iliad, and Virgil’s Aeneid, and focusing in particular on the relationship of the hero to one or more “second selves,” or alter egos, Van Nortwick demonstrates how the poems address central and enduring truths about human life: that the exertion of heroic will in pursuit of glory can lead to alienation from one’s own deepest self and that spiritual wholeness can only be achieved through confrontation with what appears at first to be the very negation of the self.

The Idea Of Epic

Attribution
J.B. Hainsworth
Publication Details
Book, University of California Press, 1991
Description
The idea of epic is elusive. Hainsworth explores the development of the epic genre, the causes of its success in classical literature, and the reasons for the failure of the genre after its triumphs in the Renaissance. When the poetic form was abandoned the idea of epic dissolved, leaving as its ghost the expression in other forms of the metaphysical ideas of the Greek and Roman epics.
