The Hero's Quest and the Cycles of Nature: An Ecological Interpretation of World Mythology
Rachel S. McCoppin
This examination of the heroic journey in world mythology casts the protagonist as a personification of nature - a “botanical hero” one might say - who begins the quest in a metaphorical seed-like state, then sprouting into a period of verdant strength. But the hero must face a mythic underworld where he or she contends with mortality and sacrifice-embracing death as a part of life.
