Summary/Abstract: Place and significance in the traditional mentality led body, especially in some epic productions at a certain determinism of being. Quality double body (biological and spiritual), allowed to imagine a traditional mentality an epic scheme which they can pose to the daily, the need for something else, non-ephemeral, the transreality. Where is the subject brought me into the discussion in this study, in which the hero always tries to close, purpose erotic and marital, a superior being to his human nature, profane, ephemeral. Coveted, sought so feminine beings produce in psychology hero, by their nature substance, a certain re-structuring, re-psychological and behavioral modeling which eventually will give meaning and motivation epic. But how and why it will get here? What are the traditional epic scenarios ahead for final success? Where are located, epistemic speaking, such situations? Phenomenologically, all these efforts the hero had only a social basis or reflects a (diluted) scheme mythical thinking, absolutely necessary for self-fulfillment of the individual person who is the hero?
