"The material of myth is the material of our life, the material of our body, and the material of our environment. A living, vital mythology deals with these." - Joseph Campbell

These remarkable talks were filmed and are presented here int eh order and manner in which Campbell himself intended, with enhanced images and in minimally edited form. As seen on PBS.
