'...argues that the time for the hero as a model for maleness is past....many of the present-day difficulties between men and women result from an over-reliance upon the heroic as an archetypal stance that underlies consciousness. Tatham puts forward an archetypal image in the person and story of Daedalus, the master-craftsman of Greek mythology....frees the reader to examine the notion that there can exist many different kinds of maleness....''
