Myths Rewritten: The Rise of the Heroine


Listen Later

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.
