List of epic heroes
I added some examples of the more significant Epic Heroes.(Lucas(CA) 16:58, 9 September 2007 (UTC))
Categories
I'm not a Wikipedia editor or anything, but I think someone should give summaries of Epic heroes from different time periods and the general differences between them, ex. Medieval Epic heroes. 74.166.50.213 (talk) 23:46, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
Merger Proposal
As Epic poetry is mainly a list of epics, and much of this article focuses on the oral nature of the epic, I suggest merging this page to be part of the Epic poetry page. 81.153.169.5 20:07, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
- Because this is a very important mythological archetype, and supported by Wikiproject mythology, I am taking off the merge idea. I think it should should expand on the epic hero archetype(s) in comparative mythology, and has a key place in that category.Goldenrowley 18:30, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
Aragorn is not an epic hero
Am I the only one that has noticed that Aragorn is not an epic hero, because: a)he didn't exist, b) he is not included in any mithology. He is a fantastic hero, an therefore should be included in the entry "heroes of popular culture". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.128.134.143 (talk) 11:27, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
- Also, the entry about "epic heroes in videogames" is absurd. It should be included in a section about videogames. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.150.69.135 (talk) 16:20, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
