Legends & Myths

Nearly all our myths and stories are self similar, fractal variations of a so-called monomyth, sharing the same fundamental structure:

A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man.

Joseph Campbell – The Hero with a thousand faces
