This study is based on an islamic folk narrative dating back to Iran, that is also present in original Turkish people’s narrations residing in Mount Ida. This very popular folk narrative: the Legend of Sarıkız still has an influence on today’s oral literature all around Mount Ida. The variant that this study works upon focuses on a virgin who is in disfavor.This variant also forms the backbone of Sabahattin Ali’s Hasanboğuldu, which is a short story existing in his work Yeni Dünya. Upon approving the narrator’s quest request, Hacer who is also a Turkmen herself, takes the narrator to the land of the legend. Both the legend of Sarıkız and Hasanboğuldu share the same setting. The short story is built upon love of two naive young men and their eager interest in two sturdy and bold women. The legend outweighs the story in terms of the love story thus this work mainly focuses on the legend rather than the short story itself. In the legend, the heroine’s life is based upon the pursue of wholism and her pattern is closely related to the steps of Maureen Murdock’s, formerly a student of Joseph Campbell, ‘The Heroine’s Journey’ viewed as the feminine form of Campbell’s monomyth.The original text is to be analyzed based upon steps of Murdock’s Heroine’s Journey and symbolic meanings are to be examined.
