Carl Gustav Jung 'Man and his symbols'
As a general rule it can be said that the need for a hero symbols arises when the ego needs strenghtening - when, that is to say, the conscious mind needs assistance in some task that it cannot accomplish unaided or without drawing on the suorces of strenght that lie in the unconscious mind. In the dream I have been discussing, for instance,there was no reference to one of the most important aspects of the myth of the typical hero - his capacity to save or protect beautiful women from terrible danger. (The damsel in distress was a favourite myth of the medieval Europe).
