The Hero's Quest and the Cycles of Nature - An Ecological Interpretation of World Mythology (Paperback)

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. For centuries,
humans have sought superiority over nature. Yet the botanical hero
finds nothing is lost by recognizing that one is merely a part of
nature. Instead, a cyclical promise of continuous life is realized,
in which no element fully disappears, and the hero's message is not
to dwell on death.
