Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth | Ep. 1: 'The Hero’s Adventure'

In this episode, Joseph Campbell and Bill Moyers explore the classic hero cycle, the universal pattern of stories and legends that reflect the human journey. They discuss how heroes from different cultures and times, such as Buddha, Moses, and Luke Skywalker, share the same archetypal stages and challenges. They also examine how the hero’s adventure can be a metaphor for our own personal and spiritual quests. Campbell encourages us to discover what excites us, and to make that the basis for our own journeys.
