In The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Joseph Campbell argues that certain characteristics of heroes, what he calls the heroic "monomyth," are cross- cultural, that the same pattern of separation-initiation-return occurs in all heroic narratives.1 While he stresses the similarities between heroic myths, he also concedes that "there are of course differences between the numerous mythologies and religions of mankind" (p. 385). The specific attributes of a hero or of his tale are related to the time and culture from which they emerge. An examination of the characteristics of the heroes of a particular society may reveal not only certain basic psychic truths about mankind, but may also reflect national and time-biased patterns which help us better understand the values of that specific group
