Power of Myth
The power of myth was taken directly from a set of interviews done by journalist Bill Moyers. ... He established himself as a prolific mythology writer with such works as The Hero with a Thousand Faces, in which he describes the similarities of myth between cultures. Campbell believes that all cultures have their own vision of an ideal hero and their trials and tribulations of these hero’s journeys are played out through myth. ... Campbell reverts to the ancient myth of the Summerian sky goddess, Inanna, who sacrificed herself to save her love by entering the underworld knowing she would never be permitted to leave and be with her beloved.
