zeke_72 's review for:
The Hero With a Thousand Faces
by Joseph Campbell
Ever wonder why all myths are basically the same? Hercules, Ōkuninushi, Jesus, Luke Skywalker...etc Same story. All similar or exactly the same structure. And they are all the same because stories with this structure affect the human condition on a personal level....and can be used to organize millions for good or ill (think about the propaganda myths developed for Hitler) . The hero myth. It's fascinating.
Get more details about all the 'Hero Stages' in the book. It's great.

9) THE HERO SIEZES THE SWORD.
10) THE ROAD BACK.
