The Power of Myth sparked a remarkable revival of interest in Joseph Campbell and his work. He has had a tremendous effect on millions of people, including Star Wars creator George Lucas, as a distinguished scholar, writer, and teacher. Mythology, according to Campbell, was the “song of the universe, the symphony of the spheres.” The Power of Myth, with Bill Moyers, one of America’s most distinguished journalists, as his smart and fascinating interviewer, covers topics ranging from contemporary marriage to virgin births, from Jesus to John Lennon, and offers a great blend of knowledge and humour.

This amazing book illustrates how ancient story motifs and symbols continue to provide meaning to birth, death, love, and conflict. From the legends of the gods and goddesses of ancient Greece and Rome through Buddhist, Hindu, and Christian traditions, a wide range of subjects are studied to identify the universality of human experience across time and culture. The Power of Myth, an excellent match of interviewer and topic, and a timeless distillation of Campbell’s ideas, continues to have a significant impact on our culture.
