What is myth?

Our class notes, our definition of "myth." --9/14/17

We've explored several sources this week. For homework, you've read this overview of Campbell's hero journey. We also read "Prologue: Defining Myth: An Introduction to the Special Issue on Storytelling and Myth" by John S. Gentile. 

Finally, we began to watch "The Hero Adventure" from Bill Moyer's interview with Joseph Campbell. You can see that video here:
