The Hero's Journey, or monomyth, is a common template of stories that involve a hero who goes on an adventure, and in a decisive crisis wins a victory, and then comes home changed or transformed. Identifiable in myths from cultures worldwide, it typically typically involves stages like the Call to Adventure, Crossing the Threshold, the Ordeal, and the Return with the Elixir. This structure suggests a universal human pattern of storytelling.
