Joseph John Campbell was an American mythologist, writer, and lecturer. He is best known for his work on comparative mythology and comparative religion. Campbell's most famous work, 'The Hero with a Thousand Faces', introduced the concept of the monomyth, or the archetypal hero's journey, which has had a significant influence on literature, film, and popular culture.
