Product Description

Professor Van Nortwick explores the ways in which the authors of the Gilgamesh epic, the Iliad, and the Aeneid use the relationship between the male hero and his `second self,' or alter ego, objectified in one or more characters in the story, to explore the psychological, or spiritual, evolution of the hero.

Exploring the hero's journey as a metaphor for spiritual evolution, this work offers a close reading of three major works of epic poetry: the "Epic of Gilgamesh", Homer's "Iliad" and Virgil's "Aeneid". It serves as an introduction to the central themes and historical development of the epic form.
