The power of the myth is a book based on the 1988 PBS documentary Joseph Campbell and mythical powers. The documentary was originally aired by a six-hour dialogue between mythologist Joseph Campbell (1904-1987) and journalist building moody. It is still one of the most popular series in the history of American public television. The interview of the first five episodes took place at George Lucas' California Skywalker Ranch and the sixth interview took place at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. This is the last two summers of Campbell's life. In these discussions, Campbell published his view on the comparative myth and the continuing role of the myth in human society.

What is the meaning of the myth and what are their meanings and purpose? So, what is myth? The word mythology comes from the Greek word "myth" and means a story. Therefore, myths are stories, but not all stories are myths. Then these stories constitute the myths of the world. Some say that "Myths never happen but always exist." This sentence is from the Roman historian of the 4th century and the mysterious Sallustius.
