Gaia – The Power of Myth with Joseph Campbell
Description of The Power of Myth with Joseph Campbell
Long before medieval knights charged off to slay dragons, tales of heroic adventures were an integral part of all world cultures. Joseph Campbell challenges everyone to see the presence of a heroic journey in his or her life.
In this beloved series, mythologist and storyteller Joseph Campbell explores what enduring myths can tell us about our lives.
More than thirty years ago, renowned scholar Joseph Campbell sat down with veteran journalist Bill Moyers for a series of interviews that became one of the most enduringly popular programs ever on PBS. In dialogues that adroitly span millennia of history and far-flung geography, the two men discuss myths as metaphors for human experience and the path to transcendence, touching on topics as diverse as world religion, the virgin birth, and pop culture.
Filmed at George Lucas’s Skywalker Ranch and New York’s American Museum of Natural History, this series demonstrates that, despite superficial differences between cultures, all stories are humanity’s story.
