In the present study, I attempt to carry out a comparative analysis of two recent translations of the Old English epic Beowulf and the early Irish epic the Táin Bó Cúailnge by Seamus Heaney and Ciaran Carson respectively, in order to equally examine, under the light of archetypal criticism, the case of even matches of heroic and antiheroic characters pursuing a myth quest. It is also my intention to show that the matchup of archetypes of the same caliber may prove fatal for both on the physical level, whereas if their transcendental influence is considered, the results could be different. They will not be conclusive, but they may yield an understanding of, and illuminate certain aspects related to Jung's collective unconscious, those universal unchanging values and modes of behavior which may ensure the survival of nations and even of mankind (Jung, 1980, p. 3, 4).
