Abstract

"Lamia" is one of the Greek myths who changed to a monster because of an event. Then she lived in remote places and damaged children. In this study, "Lamia" has been investigated as a woman-monster based on Jung theory and the "Lamia"‘s antagonist has been analyzed on basis of A Jungian theory which is modeled by Carol S. Pearson in her book titled: Mapping the Organizational Psyche: A Jungian Theory of Organizational Dynamics and Change. The cases of studies are the Tangled and White Forehead Deer. The reason for selecting of these two cases is that Lamia is presented properly. Mainly questions of this study including Why does Lamia appear in these stories? And how can the protagonist overcome her? The purpose of this essay is also to show the connection between stories and deep human issues that may appear as monsters in the story. According to Jungi's psychological perspective "Lamia" in these two stories is a symbol of Mother Complex. In these two stories, Heroine after "Facing Lamia", which here symbolizes "human defect," enters the path of heroic journey and eventually achieve happiness.
