Be it that we're dealing with one of the vigorous Tales of the ancient Greeks, or one of the enlightening Sagas of the Middle or Far East, or one of the exemplary Allegories of the Holy Bible, the Koran or the Mayan Popol Vuh, or one of the gallant Legends of the Middle Ages, the adventure of the Story's Main Character always conforms to a similar pattern.
Most of these heroic feats consists of four stages: (1) A Call that requests the Main Character to leave his or her everyday life, (2) A Journey toward the central Objective of the Saga, (3) After attaining the Goal, comes the Return of the Hero to his or her known world, and finally, (4) A Display and Good Usage of the earned Trophy.
Each Legend can highlight any of the above described stages, emphasizing it so much that it would seem to be the main theme of the Story. Or, it could leave out one or more of those parts. These variations make the Tales seem different from one another. It's what gives each one its particular "flavor."
In this book, I set forth the parallelism found between most Legends and the Astronical Cycle. This uncanny similarity leads me to suggest that Mankind's advance throughout the ages follows the events activated by the forces of the Astronical Cycles. And that the action of these forces, in lack of a better explanation, have been "dressed-up" and converted into the colorful adventures that make up our most famous Stories.
Don't be surprised if you identify yourself with the Main Character of this book.
