What is Myth

[Clifford Black]

Adventure in mythology[edit]

Some of the oldest and most widespread stories in the world are stories of adventure such as Homer's The Odyssey.^[4][5][6]Mythologist Joseph Campbell discussed his notion of the monomyth in his book, The Hero with a Thousand Faces. Campbell proposed that the heroic mythological stories from culture to culture followed a similar underlying pattern, starting with the "call to adventure", followed by a hazardous journey, and eventual triumph.

The knight errant was the form the "adventure seeker" character took in the late Middle Ages.

The adventure novel exhibits these "protagonist on adventurous journey" characteristics as do many popular feature films, such as Star Wars^[7] and Raiders of the Lost Ark.^[8]
