The Power of Myth III: The First Storytellers, or Uffa… Old White Men…

Posted byTriumvir ClioPosted inBackground

This is not the best episode. In case you’d forgotten that Joseph Campbell was an old white man when The Power of Myth was recorded, he’s about to remind you.

Discussion Prompts
  1. What is your favorite liminal space? Why?
  2. What is your favorite coming-of-age story? Why?
  3. Campbell thinks that ritual is dead. How would you prove him wrong?

I have a BA in History and Classical Civilization from Loyola University Chicago and an MPH from Western Michigan University. I've been a geometry teacher, a religion teacher, a writing tutor. I'm a writer, a knitter, a dancer, a singer, an actor. And, yes, for fun I like to reread everything that was assigned while getting my classics degree.
