| abstract |
A modern novel based on the heroic journey from Greek mythology. The novel considers both the external journey and the internal and explores the growth necessary
for the journey to succeed. It is preceded by a critical framework addressing why one hero fails in the myth of Orpheus but another is successful in his return
home in The Odyssey. The framework discusses Jung's "anima" and "renovatio" as lenses to aid psychological understanding of the inner growth of the hero
in parallel with Joseph Campbell's "hero's journey" which provides a structure for the exterior experiences.
