A quick question, Ali.

Would it be more helpful to speak of the anti-heroic rather than
anti-mythic? Especially in the context of the epic. I'd like to develop this
thought but can't compete with 2 rather noisy sons. I guess we should
consider the figure of the anti-hero but doesn't that substitution transform
the form (that wasn't elegant)?
I've read many contemporary poems/and even novels that partake of the mythic
but the heroic mode only seems to thrive in Hollywood.
Idle thoughts, but you've raised an interesting subject.

best,
Geraldine
