Myth Title: In the space provided below, identify the myth you selected to analyze.
Myth Title Response:
1) The Call to Adventure: In the first step, Call to Adventure, the Hero is living some semblance of a normal life or a routine existence. Someone or something pulls them out of this familiar lifestyle. The Call to Adventure signals the beginning of the quest and the story proper, and, without it, there wouldn’t be a story worth telling. The Call to Adventure is usually what pulls the Hero into their quest.
Call to Adventure Response:
First, paste a direct quote from the approved myth (provided on FSO) that clearly identifies the moment when the Call to Adventure takes place.
Next, explain why the passage you quoted represents the Call to Adventure step, describe the nature of the Hero's quest, and how it provided the Hero with a newfound purpose in the myth you chose to analyze. [50-100 words]
2) Belly of the Whale: The Belly of the Whale is the first time in the quest, the Hero comes face to face with the possibility of dying on their journey. In cases where the quest isn’t that serious, or where the Hero isn’t afraid to die, death is replaced by failure. Ultimately, they survive and undergo a major psychological change. This change is a shift in thinking, where the Hero comes to accept that they are no longer in the world of the familiar and that they have very little control of the world around them. The Belly of the Whale is the moment that the Hero faces down death or failure for the first time.
Belly of the Whale Response:
First, paste a direct quote from the approved myth (provided on FSO) that clearly identifies the moment when the Belly of the Whale takes place.
Next, explain why the passage you quoted represents the Belly of the Whale step, what this encounter meant for the Hero, and how this experience affected them psychologically in the myth you’re analyzing. [50-100 words]
3) Meeting with a Deity: Meeting with a Deity occurs when the Hero encounters a powerful force who offers otherworldly strength and often respite. This can be a moment of deep connectivity and a broader understanding of the world around them, changing the Hero’s perspective and helping the Hero realize the importance of their role. The Deity can be positive or negative, or both, but the effect and purpose are the same. The Deity also does not have to be a God or Goddess.
Meeting with a Deity Response:
First, paste a direct quote from the approved myth (provided on FSO) that clearly identifies the moment when the Meeting with a Deity takes place.
Next, explain why the passage you quoted represents the Meeting with the Deity step, describe the “Deity” that changed the Hero’s perspective, and the way in which the Hero’s perspective changed in the story you chose to analyze. [50-100 words]
Apotheosis and Ultimate Boon: The Apotheosis is the moment when a Hero becomes greater than they were before. This can manifest itself as a greater mental or spiritual awareness, an elevation in social status, or as the Hero becoming exponentially more powerful than they were before. The Apotheosis is often on the way to, or the result of the Ultimate Boon, the act of achieving the goal of the quest.
Apotheosis Response:
First, paste a direct quote from the approved myth (provided on FSO) that clearly identifies the moment when the Apotheosis takes place.
Next, explain how the passage you quoted represents the Apotheosis step. Describe how the Hero was elevated in status (e.g.; in wisdom, power, or understanding) and how this transformation either helped them achieve the Ultimate Boon or resulted from obtaining it.
Ultimate Boon Response:
First, paste a direct quote from the approved myth (provided on FSO) that clearly identifies the moment when the Ultimate Boon takes place.
Next, explain why the passage you quoted represents the Ultimate Boon step, discuss how this event showed the Hero achieving their initial goal and describe the impacts or consequences that followed as a result of receiving the Ultimate Boon. (50-100 words)
Master of Two Worlds and Freedom to Live: The Master of Two Worlds is demonstrated when the Hero shows mastery over things and emotions that challenged them in the past. If the Hero is a Master of Two Worlds they can pass into the world of adventure and go back to their ordinary life easily. The Freedom to Live is where we see that the Hero is free from the burdens (physical and psychological) of the quest and are able to go on with their lives as they please.
Master of Two Worlds Response:
First, paste a direct quote from the approved myth (provided on FSO) that clearly identifies the moment when the Hero achieves or fails to achieve the Master of Two Worlds.
Next, explain why the passage you quoted best represents the Hero achieving or failing to achieve the Master of Two Worlds step and discuss how this event showed the Hero transformed. (50-100 words)
Freedom to Live Response:
First, paste a direct quote from the approved myth (provided on FSO) that clearly identifies the moment when the Hero achieves or fails to achieve the Freedom to Live.
Next, explain why the passage you quoted best represents the Hero achieving or failing to achieve the Freedom to Live step, and explain how the Hero is no longer burdened by their quest. (50-100 words)
