The Hero’s Journey Joseph Campbell

Background American mythologist born in 1904 Best known for his work in comparative religion and comparative mythology Professor, writer, lecturer, and master storyteller

Monomyth Campbell’s concept of the monomyth (one myth) refers to his theory that sees all mythic narratives as variations of a single great story. Common patterns exist beneath the stories of most great myths, regardless of their origin or time of creation. The central pattern most studied by Campbell is often referred to as the hero's journey.

The Hero’s Journey Campbell first outlined and explained the archetypal hero’s journey in his book, The Hero with a Thousand Faces. (1949) It has become one of the most influential books of the 20th century.

The Hero’s Journey Monomyth The hero’s journey unfolds in a series of stages that fall in a consistent pattern across time and cultures.
