In last week’s episode, we walked with Atalanta, Psyche, and Lilith—women who dared to challenge the roles written for them.

Today, we continue that journey with four more women whose stories have been twisted, vilified, or misunderstood: Mary Magdalene, La Malinche, La Lorona, and Medusa. Each of them—though separated by time, culture, and geography—offers us a mirror. A warning. A revelation. And above all, a challenge to reimagine what it means to be a heroine.

Episode # 4: Last week, we journeyed through the classic arc of the Hero—the call to adventure, the trials, the triumph. But today, we’re turning the page to a story that’s just as ancient, and just as powerful—though often left in the shadows. In this episode, we explore the Heroine’s Journey. Unlike the Hero’s outward quests and monster-slaying, the Heroine’s path winds inward—into the realms of self-discovery, transformation, and the reclaiming of a deeper, often forgotten, feminine wisdom. It’s not just about battles—it’s about becoming whole. In this episode, we will explore two well-known Greek heroines—Atalanta and Psyche—who each walk a path that mirrors the heroine's journey, then we’ll look at a retelling of the story of Lilith, whose tale is particularly resonant in our current time, as we are in the season of the Black Moon Lilith.

📝 Episode Description:
In Episode 3 of Mythology Uncaged, we unravel the well-known structure of Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey and explore how it is woven through the ancient myths of Perseus and Hercules. What can these legendary heroes teach us about trials, transformation, and triumph?

We'll dive into the 12 steps of the Hero’s Journey, mapping them onto Perseus’s daring quest to slay Medusa, and then take a deeper look at Hercules’s 12 Labors—are they just feats of strength, or do they mirror an inner journey of redemption and rebirth?

Next, we retell the epic adventures of the Odyssey and the Iliad, spotlighting the gods and goddesses—like Athena, Apollo, and Hera—who helped (and hindered) the heroes along the way. These stories remind us that no hero walks alone.

And finally, I wrap up with a thought-provoking subscriber question that moves past the hero's journey and looks at our female heroines.

Whether you're a mythology lover or on your own hero’s journey, this episode is your invitation to step into the mythic.
