The Archetypes of the Shadow and the Mask in the Korogli Epopee

The Korogli epopee is enriched with myths due to its epic content. Since the myths are inspiring in providing possibility for individuation and represent the total power, we have emphasized the analyzing of these archetypes in this essay. Archetypes are the common aspect of perceptions which are presented in the same shapes in different places and situations. Among these archetypes, some are of great importance and prominence in analytic psychology, which are named: the self, anima, animus, mask, and shadow. In this epopee, since the hero is international, the present archetypes in analytic psychology are much more prominent. It is necessary to mention that the internationality of the hero has stemmed from the integrative unconsciousness of different people and societies. By analyzing the archetypes of shadow and the mask, the present essay attempts to emphasize the individuation of the hero.
