The Egyptian myth about Orsis and Isis, telling how Orsis became the lord of the underworld follows many of the aspects in the hero's journey. In this story the hero is actually the goddess Isis. She goes through the well defined path of departure, trials and victories and the return. Since she is a god some of the parts are left out seeing that she is envisioned as being more than just human and being all knowing and powerful. The story begins when Geb and Nut had four children Isis, Orsis, Nephthys and Seth. The world was in chaos and Orsis and Isis were sent by the Geb to put the world back to order. Orsis taught the people how to use agriculture and animal farming. While Orsis and Isis sat upon the thorn Maat was all in order, this was considered the golden age. All was perfect except for the hate in Seth's heart. Seth longed for everything his brother had, he wanted the power and for the people to love him. He even wanted Isis to be his queen even though he was already married to his sister Nephthys.

In the book Atlas Shrugged Hank is portrayed as a dualist. A dualist is someone who believes that the mind and the body are two separate entities. When thinking about the women he had sex with including his wife Lillian, Hank came to believe the doctrine that this desire was wholly physical, a desire, not of consciousness, but of matter, and he rebelled against the thought that his flesh could be free to choose and that its choice was impervious to the will of his mind. The mind is a supernatural element and the body is viewed as evil. The mind is believed to be the essential aspect to your existence. Their main view is that you cannot live without your mind/soul but you can live without your body. People are able to hurt your body but they are not able to hurt your mind. Your mind is your own, and only yours alone. To believe this way has caused Hank Readen a lot of grief and havoc in his life.
