Abstract
One of the most popular series in the history of public television, these lively conversations between Joseph Campbell and Bill Moyers kept viewers glued to their sets in 1988 and are "still potently relevant" (San Francisco Chronicle). Exploring how myths hold the key to understanding human experience, the scholar and the journalist touch on topics as diverse as world religions, marriage, and pop culture.
Disc 1 includes:
Episode 1:The Hero's Adventure
Whether it's Buddha, Moses, Jesus, or the Knights of the Round Table, the heroes in every mythic tradition undertake the same archetypal journey from departure, through fulfillment, to return.
Episode 2: The Message of the Myth At their deepest level, myths teach us how to live--with ourselves, with others, and with the mystery at the heart of life.
Episode 3: The First Storytellers
All of our culture's rituals have their roots in the myths of ancient hunters, who told stories and acted out rites to bring their lives into harmony with nature.
