* ''Series/DoctorWho'' fits the classical Odyssey structure early on, when the Doctor is trying to return the teachers home and they face temptation ("The Aztecs"), hard journeys ("Marco Polo"), tests of character ("The Keys of Marinus"), ScyllaAndCharybdis ("The Aztecs") monsters ("The Daleks", "The Web Planet", and [[MonsterOfTheWeek a lot more]]), and even a journey to the Underworld in "The Space Museum" when they are JustOneSecondOutOfSync, can't interact with anything or anyone and see their own corpses. Once the teachers get PutOnABus, these elements are discarded in favour of just a neverending story full of aliens.

The problem with such a story from a modern perspective is that they can actually tail off too ''much'' into the various side-stories and forget the main goal that the characters originally started out on. This was less of a problem before as Medieval writers often deliberately wrote a network of plots, subplots, and sub-subplots branching out like a tree. Examples of this are Spenser's ''Fairy Queen'', ''Arabian Nights'', and ''Romance of the Three Kingdoms''.

It was added at the behest of Pierce's editor because "fantasy books always have quests," although the Jewel is mentioned in the subsequent series.

** In fact if you want to get technical, it was kicked off by Roy's ''father's'' quest to defeat Xykon. Eugene swore a Blood Oath to defeat Xykon, but eventually decided it was more effort than it was worth, and ended up dying of natural causes before anything was done about it; the end result being that Roy didn't really have much choice in the matter since, as Eugene's blood, he was beholden to the oath as well.

* Every single hero myth ever, across any culture, relies on this. The Greeks and Romans had stories like Jason and the Argonauts, Hercules, and the Aeneid, with heroes being sent on quests by a god or a king. In later Europe many legends were based around knights going in search of holy objects or to save a kingdom or a damsel or something to that effect. I'm not to familiar with myths of other cultures, but I know other mythologies relied heavily on it as well.
