Title: Another Example of Joseph Campbell's Poor Scholarship
Review: There is a major problem with Joseph Campbell's works regarding mythology: his claim that there is an overarching mytheme that transcends cultures is demonstrably false. Joseph Campbell is very good at EDITING myths (for example Sir Gawain and the Green Knight) to make it fit HIS mystical beliefs. One would be better served by ordering tapes on mythology supplied by the Teaching Company.There is a good reason why Sarah Lawrence College refused to accept Joseph Campbell's papers for archival purpuses (and at varience with its policies): his work is regardaded as New Age garbage.
