Editing Culture hero (section)

=== History of a culture hero ===
The term "culture hero" was originated by historian [[Kurt Breysig]], who used the German word ''heilbringer,'' which translates to ''savior''. Over the years, "culture hero" has been interpreted in many ways. Older interpretations by Breysig, [[Paul Ehrenreich]], and [[Wilhelm Schmidt (linguist)|Wilhelm Schmidt]] thought that the journeys of culture heroes were ways in which humans could attempt to understand things in nature, such as the rising and setting of the sun, or the movement of the stars and constellations. Eventually, their interpretations were rejected and replaced with newer interpretations by scholars such as [[Hermann Baumann (social anthropologist)|Hermann Baumann]], [[Adolf Ellegard Jensen|Adolf E. Jensen]], [[Mircea Eliade]], Otto Zerries, [[Raffaele Pettazzoni]], and Harry Tegnaeus, which evolved as a result of having more access to ethnological data, creating the present version of the culture hero.<ref name=":0" />
