Lord Raglan, in
The Hero
(1936) has classified the parallel life-patterns of the mythical hero of tradition into twenty-two archetypal incidents, as noted below. The higher a particular hero scores, the closer he is to the UR-archetype of the sacred hero-king of prehistoric religious ritual; a historical hero is likely to share rather few of the mythical characteristics.
Let your favorite hero take the Lord Raglan Challenge!
The Scale
The hero's mother is a royal virgin.
His father is a king and
often a near relative of the mother, but
the circumstances of his conception are unusual, and
he is also reputed to be the son of a god
at birth an attempt is made, usually by his father or maternal grandfather, to kill him, but
He is spirited away, and
reared by foster-parents in a far country.
We are told nothing of his childhood, but
on reaching manhood he returns or goes to his future kingdom.
After a victory over the king and or giant, dragon, or wild beast
he marries a princess, often the daughter of his predecessor and
becomes king.
For a time he reigns uneventfully and
prescribes laws but
later loses favor with the gods and or his people and
is driven from from the throne and the city after which
He meets with a mysterious death
often at the top of a hill.
His children, if any, do not succeed him.
His body is not buried, but nevertheless
he has one or more holy sepulchres.
Undoubtedly historical personages always score lower than six, although Alexander the Great might be said to exceed that figure with a possible score of seven, depending on how one interprets some aspects of his life history. (Speaking of Alexanders, it might be interesting to see how much our little bundle of joy scores later on in life.) Generally, anyone scoring over seven or eight might be based on a historical person, but the higher on the scale, the less likely it is.
