Mythological narratives, such as the hero's journey, provide essential maps for human beings to navigate life, confront suffering, and transform chaos into meaningful order.

“The hero's narrative defines [music] the foundation of things. So what's the story? One of the things that a great story does is that it reveals truths that have been known since the beginning of time. [music] That's a map.”

Achilles' confession in the underworld highlights that mortality is preferable to the existence of a shade in the afterlife.

The meeting between Odysseus and Achilles in the underworld serves to critique the ancient Greek glorification of martial heroism.

“To me, that is the single most interesting moment of the entire Odyssey. Because it undermines the cult of the hero and the sort of the emphasis on glory and martial vigor and writing your name in neon letters that will never fade and all of that kind of thing.”
