Editorial Reviews

Renowned teacher and storyteller Joseph Campbell joins Bill Moyers in this acclaimed series exploring the meaning myths have in our daily lives. Each of the six episodes --"The Hero's Adventure," "The Message of the Myth," "The First Storytellers," "Sacrifice and Bliss," "Love and the Goddess," and "Masks of Eternity" -- focuses on a character or theme found in mythologies of various cultures and religions. In his lively discussions with Moyers, Campell argues eloquently that these timeless archetypes continue to exert a powerful pull on our unconscious. Barnes & Noble

February 05, 2006: This 6 Part Series made for PBS has changed my life forever. The knowledge that Joseph Campbell brings to this discussion is immeasurable. His pure passion, pleasure, and readiness to recapitulate his love for and then to willfully share his knowledge of the subjects in question …is over the top!!! Mr. Campbell brilliantly manifest’s an answer or at least ponders a possible theory for each and every question Bill Moyers decisively bombards him about. All I could do was watch and learn. The pleasurable part was that nothing was implied… it was discussed. Amazing!!! Bravo!!!
