The Meeting with the Goddess is one of the most important of Campbell's seventeen stages and one of the prominent positions of the hero in the inner journey that the hero of stories, legends, and epics reaches after passing through difficult valleys and stages. This means that the hero-seeker, after withdrawing from the everyday world outside and enduring various austerities that are in accordance with his level, becomes susceptible to spiritual perceptions. The present study, using a library method, has analyzed this stage in the most important epics of the world, such as the Epic of "Gilgamesh", the "Ramayana" and the "Mahabharata", the "Iliad" and the "Odyssey", Virgil's "Aeneid", the "Nibelungen", and Dante's "Divine Comedy", which have a linear narrative and a single hero in most events. While explaining these epics in the light of each other, it has come to the conclusion that all of these epics are not limited to only apparent and external events, but rather contain fundamental mystical concepts through their cryptic and symbolic expression. In all these epics, the emphasis is that if a talented person does not tolerate the daily routines of his humble life and is ready for spiritual advancement and inner perfection, he will begin to progress with the divine assistance embedded in him. After enduring hardships and overcoming crises, like the mystic pilgrims or the mystic pilgrims, he will experience a manifestation of that divine truth and a true life and will reach the point of seeing a manifestation of the divine truth. And the divine manifestation of that divine truth, appropriate to the talent and perception of the hero, will appear before his eyes in the form of a beautiful goddess.
