Twelve Labours of Hercules, or what is a Heroe ?

"If you want your hero to appear to your conscience, you have to be at the disposal of the mistress who wants for her lover" asserts Luc Bigé. In consequence of his presentation on The language of the Birds, Luc Bigé comes back here on two important notions : the theme of the "hero" and the symbolical initiating of the first work that Hercules-Heracles must accomplish: to kill Nemean lion.
To Luc Bigé, a hero is a Eros with an "H" as a prefix. The H represent the exploration of three worlds which is a constant in Shamanic traditions: the lower world, the world of above and the ordinary one.  The Eros isn't only that god who sends "a love arrow to his beloved", but as it is said in the Orphic tradition, the Eros is at the origin of the of the world: the strength of its energy gives him the necessary vitality to the exploration of these three worlds. Thus the Hero has the courage to abandon the known world to go towards the unknown and from its confrontation with the unknown a transformation will be born.  The hero will tell this statement to those who live in the ordinary world.
