Every great myth contains a moment where the hero, or sometimes the god, steps not only into danger but also into darkness. They descend, often unwillingly, into a world hidden beneath the surface of life itself: the underworld. It is a place of death, but not only that. It is a land of shadows, of memories, and of forgotten truths.
