Transformations of Myth Through Time - Joseph Campbell

Where People Lived Legends: American Indian Myths (1x3)

Yayınlanma tarihi: Şub 28, 1990

Campbell's telling of the Navaho legend of "Where the Two Came to Their Father" illustrates an American Indian version of the hero's journey and illustrates the relationship of man and nature, a constant theme through time in American Indian cultures. Campbell has pointed out that "when mythology is alive, you don't have to tell anyone what it means." A myth that is alive works like a picture. In telling an archetypal Navaho Indian myth, Campbell brings to life the landscape in which all aspects of the land and the life force are infused with scared meaning.
