The worlds of Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, and other modern epics
feature the Chosen One--an adolescent boy who defeats the Dark Lord
and battles the deepest joys and sorrows of the world below
awareness. Television's Buffy the Vampire Slayer represents a
different kind of epic--the heroine's journey, not the hero's. This
provocative study explores how Buffy blends 1990s girl power and
the path of the warrior woman with the oldest of mythic traditions.
It chronicles her descent into death and subsequent return like the
great goddesses of antiquity. As she sacrifices her life for the
helpless, Buffy experiences the classic heroine's quest, ascending
to protector and queen in this timeless metaphor for growing into
adulthood.
