I found all this information on Wekipedia. If you wish to follow Campbell's teachings, that's your choice, but as for me and my house, we will follow the LORD.
Abel,

Perhaps you could clarify. What does the first paragraph that I've quoted here have to do with Campbell's teachings about mythology?

I don't care one little bit about the personalities of any of these folks. It's campbell's academic pursuit of unifying theory of world mythology that I respect. Furthermore, I think there's plenty of evidence illustrating that Joseph Campbell had NONE of the properties that you quote above.
