[QUOTE="Schwarzwald, post: 65994, member: 544"] I think you're missing the 'heroes' that are actually there. Christianity and Islam have tons of them, they just aren't Greek demigods. In the Orthodox tradition, the 'canon' of lives lived for God is always growing through the Saints. Their stories are full of miracles and crazy endurance, but it’s about sacrifice, not just being a 'strong guy' who kills monsters. Just because there aren't dragons every five pages doesn't mean it isn't heroic; it's just a different type of heroism based on internal strength and miracles rather than just physical 'fantasy' stuff. And in the end it can all just be classified as fantasy. [/QUOTE]
