Are you sure you weren't in Helsinki on Sunday early afternoon on a panel with Pete and I?
A few other points we added on the panel: *The Hero occupies the threshold between the world of ordinary mortals and the divine (or more rarely the infernal)* *The liminal position of the Hero is both why the Hero is respected and why the Hero (usually) ultimately disappoints us*
