In 1949, the American mythologist Joseph Campbell tested this approach of Jung, the hero of the narratives of every nation and civilization. He analyzed and came to a similar conclusion to Jung's theory that the myths of each civilization and culture, despite the differences in details, contain many similarities in the structure of narratives. That is, in every archetype, there is a pattern of the "hero's journey" which is a flexible and adaptable example and can contain infinitely diverse forms and chains of stages; In other words, depending on the needs of each story, the journey steps can be omitted, repeated, or moved. Therefore, in all myths, the hero is a symbol of the emergence of self-awareness and his effort to evolve and grow. The main effort and goal of the hero of the story "Victory over ignorance" he studied the mythical structure in various civilizations and cultures, he believed that in the mythical structure for the hero's journey, there are three stages of departure, arrival and return. They can be found in Hasanlu's Golden Cup portrait. A clear example of this can be seen in Hassanlou's Golden Cup photo. The purpose of this article is to study the archetype of the hero's journey in this painting, which is one of the most significant and distinguished works of art in Iran, using the mythological approach of Joseph Campbell.

In Joseph Campbell's view, the archetype of the hero's journey consists of three stages: departure, separation, arrival, and return, each of which is subdivided. He puts it this way: The mythical hero sets off and heads for The threshold of the path drawn, where it encounters a shadow that guards the transition. The hero may defeat this force or the opposing force will kill him. On the other side of the threshold, the hero travels in a world full of forces, some of which threaten him severely, while others come to his aid with eternal help, enduring great hardship and rewarding him in return. Victory may be in the form of a connection with the Goddess, or the form of acceptance in the presence of the father, or the form of the god himself becoming a hero, or in the form of stealing blessings. The last task is to return. On the eve of the return of the hero, he must overcome the transcendental forces and leave the realm of terror. This pattern itself contains the following sections: The first stage is separation or departure, which is related to the initial parts of the journey. From the hands of the gods 3. Unseen help means relief and help that comes from the unseen to help the one who has set foot on the determined path 4. Crossing the first threshold 5. Whale belly or crossing the realm of night. The second stage of the journey is related to the encounter of the hero with the adversaries, with which the hero reaches spiritual development and growth, and consists of 6 stages: 1. The path of trials or the dangerous face of the gods 2. Childhood 3. Woman as a tempter means understanding the experience of Oedipus' torment 4. Reconciliation with the father 5. Becoming a god 6. The final blessing. The third part, the return, consists of 6 items. Refusing to return or deny the world 2. Eternal escape 3. Reaching help from outside 4. Crossing the threshold of returning or returning to the normal world 5. Lord of two worlds 6.
