We should format the list to look like the one in trickster...
I'm a big fan of Jesus and all, but does he really count as a culture hero? I think that's stretching the category a bit. Bacchiad 10:31, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- I agree with you. According to the definition given in the article, I would not count him as a cultural hero. --zeno 16:39, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] First usage/important writers on the topic
Could anyone update the article with information regarding prominent theorists on this topic? It seems prima facie to be a useful notion, but, alas, rather difficult to use, owing to the very sparse description in this article.
[edit] Finnish Hero
The article lists Ilmarinen as being THE culture hero of the Finns. I don't know about the real cultural impact and popularity of Kalevala characters, but from reading Lonnrot's compilation, I have to conclude that much greater importance is accorded to Väinamoinen or Lemminkäinen... so why is Ilmarinen noted ther, and neither of the other two? --Svartalf 12:21, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
