    Throughout human history, recurring stories and themes pop up around the world, crossing borders of both language and culture. Though they can vary from tales of a great flood to how the world came to be, the most common and easily-identifiable is the Hero’s Journey. Outlined by Joseph Campbell, the Hero’s Journey is the story of a great person travelling to a strange, otherworldly place (literal or metaphorical,) facing a fearsome enemy, and returning to the “normal” world having gained wisdom and experience. The most famous of these tales, like The Odyssey or the Epic of Gilgamesh, have masculine heroes, defined by traits like bravery, strength, or fearlessness. However, two famous stories of a descent into a literal and metaphorical underworld…

    Demeter, Persephone’s mother, wants her daughter back from the underworld, and because of that she comes in conflict with almost literally every Olympian god. After finding out that her daughter was given to Hades by Zeus, Demeter goes to live with the mortals for a while, then has a temple built for herself in Eleusis. She secludes herself in the temple, and, being the goddess of harvest and agriculture, makes it so that no seed grows for a whole year. The world is in famine, and Demeter “would have made away with humankind, and all the splendid things it gives and sacrifices to Olympus” (Unknown, Hymn to Demeter, 310-312), had Zeus not taken action to stop her. This shows how ruthless and amoral the Greeks perceived their gods to be, willing to wipe out mankind from the face of the earth over a dispute between themselves in which no mortals are involved.…
