In the critically acclaimed television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, writer-director Joss Whedon revises the trope of monster slaying into a contemporary feminist Slayer mythology. This thesis explores how Buffy\u27s Slayer mythology revises gender conventions performed by Greek Demigods myths, specifically Apollodorus\u27 rendition of the myths in the Library of Greek Mythology
