In literary theory, the Heroic Age was the time of great deeds recorded in epic poems like The Iliad. In this 1912 study, drawing from anthropology and philology, the author develops the idea of the Heroic Age by comparing Greek and Teutonic literary traditions, finding echoes in medieval England and Serbia.
