The meeting with the goddess is the stage of the hero's journey when the hero encounters the goddess, the mother figure who is the epitome of beauty and represents the feminine ideal in all its aspects. The meeting with the goddess is stage 7 of Joseph Campbell's hero's journey, from The Hero with a Thousand Faces.


I just looked it up lol

Step-by-step explanation:

Meeting the goddess is when the hero meets his mentor. Sometime during this stage the mentor dies. Woman as temptress is when the hero is deterred from continuing his journey, usually by a woman. Atonement is when the hero overcomes a major obstacle which is keeping him from continuing.
