About Joseph Campbell
Joseph Campbell (1904-1987) was an influential American mythologist, writer, and lecturer best known for his work in comparative mythology and comparative religion. His seminal book, "The Hero with a Thousand Faces," introduced the concept of the Hero's Journey, a narrative pattern found across cultures and storytelling traditions. Campbell's exploration of the universal themes underlying myths and his ideas about the significance of myth in human experience inspired a generation of writers, filmmakers, and artists.
