Do you like mythology as described by Campbell?

>>9897014
No he makes far too many logical leaps and reads texts backwards to fit into his theories rather than letting them speak in their own terms. It's cute that he constructed his own little fantasy mythology like Tolkein but its not something a serious reader should strive for.

What logical leaps has he made?

>Jewsph Campbell

>>9897014
Saul Bellow? he could B'low me lol

>>9897014
He's fun to read, but his take is very personal (occasionally to the detriment of the subject) and a little oversimplified at times.

Hero of a Thousand Faces has been a scourge to fiction

>He was from an upper-middle-class Irish Catholic family.

(((Catholics))) are considered the most jewish branch of Christianity for a reason, especially upper-class ones. It was also the go-to denomination for converted jews

It was the go-to denomination only because it was the *only* denomination pre-schism and/or pre-Luther (depending on geography).
