Summary/Abstract: Myths are symbolic narratives that date back to ancient times. These narratives undoubtedly have a very important place in understanding, recognizing, and interpreting people. Myth and Mythology have a strong connection with disciplines such as psychology, anthropology, sociology, literature, philosophy, and history of religions. Starting from the collective unconscious of Jung, Joseph Campbell, the founder of analytical psychology, aims to reveal the common aspects and similarities of myths. In this study, the journey of Anguilla, the hero of Cesare Pavese's novel La luna e i falò, will be examined in the context of the monomyth theory expressed by Joseph Campbell, who argues that all myths arise from a single myth and its variations.
