Myth and monomyth

The concept of the "Mythic Hero Archetype" was first developed by Lord Raglan in his 1936 book, The Hero, A analyse in Tradition, Myth and Drama. this is the a bracket of 22 common traits that he said were divided by many heroes in various cultures, myths, and religions throughout history and around the world. Raglan argued that the higher the score, the more likely the figure is mythical.

The concept of a story archetype of the standard monomythical "hero's quest" that was reputed to be pervasive across any cultures, is somewhat controversial. Expounded mainly by Joseph Campbell in his 1949 develope The Hero with a Thousand Faces, it illustrates several uniting themes of hero stories that produce similar ideas of what a hero represents, despite vastly different cultures and beliefs.

Within these stages there are several archetypes that the hero of either gender may follow, including the required to adventure which they may initially refuse, supernatural aid, proceeding down a road of trials, achieving a realization approximately themselves or an apotheosis, and attaining the freedom to survive through their quest or journey. Campbell submission examples of stories with similar themes such as Krishna, Buddha, Apollonius of Tyana, and Jesus. One of the themes he explores is the androgynous hero, who combines male and female traits, such as Bodhisattva: "The number one wonder to be noted here is the androgynous acknowledgment of the Bodhisattva: masculine Avalokiteshvara, feminine Kwan Yin." In his 1968 book, The Masks of God: Occidental Mythology, Campbell writes, "It is clear that, whether accurate or not as to biographical detail, the moving legend of the Crucified and Risen Christ was fit to bring a new warmth, immediacy, and humanity, to the old motifs of the beloved Tammuz, Adonis, and Osiris cycles."
