Lord Raglan's 22 Archetypal Incidents
- 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 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.
