In the unit, you learned about the twelve elements of a hero's journey. Identify and briefly explain the twelve elements in the myth of Hercules from the video. If an element isn't
present, explain your reasoning for why the element isn't present.

It was Eurystheus who imposed upon Heracles the famous Labours, later arranged in a cycle of 12, usually as follows:

(1) the slaying of the Nemean lion, whose skin he thereafter wore;

(2) the slaying of the nine-headed Hydra of Lerna;

(3) the capture of the elusive hind (or stag) of Arcadia;

(4) the capture of the wild boar of Mount Erymanthus;

(5) the cleansing, in a single day, of the cattle stables of King Augeas of Elis;

(6) the shooting of the monstrous man-eating birds of the Stymphalian marshes;

(7) the capture of the mad bull that terrorized the island of Crete;

(8) the capture of the man-eating mares of King Diomedes of the Bistones;

(9) the taking of the girdle of Hippolyte, queen of the Amazons;

(10) the seizing of the cattle of the three-bodied giant Geryon, who ruled the island Erytheia (meaning red) in the far west;

(11) the bringing back of the golden apples kept at the world’s end by the Hesperides; and

(12) the fetching up from the underworld of the triple-headed dog Cerberus, guardian of its gates.

Explanation:

•Ordinary World- Hercules before he was cursed by Hera, living at home with his family.

•Call to Adventure- He was cursed by Hera and went mad and killed his family. To atone for this, he visits the Oracle Delphi who sends him to his cousin, King Eurystheus of Tiryns. The king gives him 10 impossible tasks to complete.

•Crossing the Threshold- Hercules begins his tasks given to him by his cousin, he can’t turn back now.

•Tests, Allies, Enemies- Hercules defeats many enemies including the Nemean Lion, Lernaean Hydra, Erymanthian Boar, etc. He also received help from his nephew Iolaus, Athena, and Hermes. His many “Enemy” was Hera.

•Approach of the Inmost Cave- After Hercules completes his 10 tasks, his is given two more. His cousin said that two did not count, so he must complete the given tasks. These were getting the apples from Hesperides Nymphs and Bringing Cerberus back with him.

•Reward/the Road Back/Return with the Elxir - After he completes all 12 tasks, and the King declared his service complete. He finally atoned for his sins and earned his place in the divine pantheon.

•Refusal to Call- He never refused the tasks or his atonement for his sins.

•Meeting with the Mentor- He didn’t really have a mentor, he did receive help, but they weren’t really mentors.

•Ordeal- He didn’t really have a “Title Fight”, overcome fears, face his death, or have to get over the death of a someone he loves.

•Resurrection- He didn’t have a final show down between life and death. But it could be argued that this was in the video, but I don’t really see it.

Hope this helps someone :)
