Joseph Campbell

 Born March 26, 1904, Joseph Campbell taught comparative mythology and comparative religion, and wrote notable works like "The Hero with a Thousand Faces." George Lucas acknowledged the book's influence. When Campbell died in 1987, he had recently completed a series of interviews with Bill Moyers, "The Power of Myth." That was the year when Beth and I moved to Flagstaff to teach at Northern Arizona University. I was an all-but-dissertation instructor, teaching world religions for the first time. The interviews were so helpful as I got my bearings in the subject, which turned out to be a career-long specialty. https://odyssey.antiochsb.edu/literary/joseph-campbell-the-heros-journey/?fbclid=IwY2xjawJRcelleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHfXIe9YjM6TkkC95S74ShxubBKw9GEq3VAAY4Po4brTOf-F5iyFCxhsEFQ_aem_zJ6iCN12SQLOnoDWB_JkUg
