   "Hero Worship"   
      
   Abstract: Our civilization is under the spell of an illusion of   
   heroism causing a collective hubris and fixation on principles, to the   
   detriment of the personal values of the heart. As portrayed in myth,   
   the hero must be allowed to die.   
      
   Keywords: sun-hero, suicide bomber, terrorism, Icarus, hubris,   
   individuation, Carl Jung.
