This link will take you to the Joseph Campbell Foundation. I have read Hero With a Thousand Faces, Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth with Bill Moyers, and a book of lectures that he has given. After seeing the Power of Myth on television I was struck dumb by what I was hearing. The ideas struck such a chord that I could not divert my focus from what I was experiencing. I feel a sense of loss that I will not be able to attend a lecture or see him in person, but I plan to learn as much as I can from his works.

Prof. Stuart Wheeler, Department of Classical Studies, University of Richmond:
“It is interesting how George Lucas claimed that he actually went back in the second draft of Star Wars to make it more like the archtypical myth laid out in Campbell’s Hero With a Thousand Faces. Using Campbell’s outline as a guide, return to Star Wars and outline the direct parallels between the archetype and the film.”
