Every people is a chosen people in its own mind. And it is rather amusing that their name for themselves usually means mankind.

Follow your bliss.
Furthermore, we have not even to risk the journey alone; for the heroes of all time have gone before us; the labyrinth is thoroughly known; we have only to follow the thread of the hero-path. And where we had thought to find an abomination, we shall find a god; where we had thought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves; where we had thought to travel outward, we shall come to the center of our own existence; where we had thought to be alone, we shall be with all the world.

Joseph Campbell dedicated his life to the study of myths and their significance in human culture. His extensive research led him to identify common patterns and themes across diverse mythologies, which he articulated in his monomyth theory. This theory posits that many myths share a fundamental structure, revolving around a hero who embarks on an adventure, faces a decisive crisis, and returns transformed. Campbell's work, particularly 'The Hero with a Thousand Faces', has inspired countless creators, including filmmakers like George Lucas, who cited it as a major influence on 'Star Wars'. Campbell was also a popular lecturer and television personality, making complex mythological concepts accessible to a broad audience.
