		The Power of Myth is drawn from a series of interviews done in 1985 and 1986 and first shown on public television in 1988, about six months after Campbell's death.
		For Campbell, the "power of myth" is the power of metaphor and poetry to capture the imaginations of individuals and societies.

		The conclusion drawn is that they and their greed for profit were responsible for the power flouts and all of the consequences resulting from them, including such things as people dying from the inability to operate vital medical equipment on which their lives depended.
		Here the power companies' repeated efforts to build new and additional power plantsâ”which were again and again thwarted by the environmentalistsâ”not only are entirely ignored as matters of historical fact but also apparently cannot even register as relevant in the brains of many people.
		That this is widely believed is clearly implied precisely in the acceptance of the claim that somehow the existing power plants are sufficient by themselves to provide a reliable, trouble-free supply of power--or would be if only the power companies did not maliciously withhold a major portion of their capacity from the market.

	Campbell Corner - Poetry, Myth, and Philosophy
		[8] Something of the religious power of myth may be regarded as effective in legend, in which case, the native narrator must be careful concerning the circumstances of his recitations, lest the power break astray.
		Myths and legends of an earlier period, now discredited or no longer understood, their former power broken (yet still potent to charm), have supplied much of the raw material for what now passes simply as Animal Tale, Fairy Tale, and Heroic or Romantic Adventure.
		Myths, therefore, as they now come to us, and as they break up to let their pregnant motifs scatter and settle into the materials of popular tale, are the purveyors of a wisdom that has borne the race of man through the long vicissitudes of his career.

	Kath Filmer-Davies: Fantasy Fiction and Welsh Myth (Introduction)
		The power of myth has been explained in a number of ways; as a sociological structure; as a cultural phenomenon; as sheer mysticism; as something suitable for Ancient Greeks but hardly relevant to the twentieth century.
		He realised that mythic power transcended the words in which it was expressed, and held that even such a poor writer as the Victorian fantasist George MacDonald could present myth in such a way that the truth and power of the myth shone through the laboured prose.
		Myths and stories are part of the process of human socialisation; in all societies the telling of stories and the oral transmission of fairy-tales, cautionary tales, religious stories and moral fables are part of the education of children.

	The Destructive Power of Myth by William A.Cook
		Where power, induced by fear, is exercised through an elite, who are determiners of what people must believe if they are to attain salvation or retain favor, the maintenance of that power depends upon the controls that can be enforced on the masses.
		But the Church did act through the powers inherent in their leaders, the elite ministers who controlled the machinery of the denominations and the civil government, who offered to their laity, an exclusive body of adherents distinct from the heretics and the infidels because chosen by God, the reward of salvation through indulgences.
		Two myths dominate western thought: the belief in democracy, understood as the power inherent in the individual to determine with his/her fellow citizens those who will serve them in their government; and the belief in individual empowerment in determining his/her lifestyle and the economic system that will make it possible.

	The Power of Myth (1987) Joseph Campbell
		The Power of Myth is a sort of campfire dialogue between Campbell and writer/journalist Bill Moyers, covering the stories and symbols of civilisation.
		With myth, all experience can be empowering; without it, life can seem just a meaningless series of ups and downs.
		Myths typically begin with the protagonist on home turf, living a quiet but unfulfilled life.

	The Power of Myth
		This statement, fanciful as it sounds, is simply a shorthand way of saying that everyone is a creature of myth; the old legends and tales of the races are still the master keys to the human psyche.
		The science-minded Victorians who sneered at myths as mere superstitious twaddle were guilty of a kind of scientific superstition themselves—the belief that reason could explain all human motives.
		"Myths are public dreams," said Joseph Campbell, probably the leading expert on mythology in the last half of this century.

		Most impressive is Campbell's encyclopedic knowledge of myths, demonstrated in his ability to recall the details and archetypes of almost any story, from any point and history, and translate it into a lesson for spiritual living in the here and now.
		THE POWER OF MYTH may be the best Campbell book to serve as the doorway to his world, his incredible mind, and the eternal wisdom of mythology, as it manifests itself in every culture- not to mention our personal lives.
		One person can take a selected set of myths as guides, or models, on how to deal with the soul trying ordeals of everyday life, but to make a inventory of myths from the beginning of civilization all over the world and to synthesize that wealth of material is certainly an enormous task.

	Harnessing the Power of Myth
		Myths in this form often contribute to the "opinion wars" that form between members of the development team and can result in products that don’t meet users’ real needs.
		The first step toward harnessing the power of user myths is simply to recognize what the current user myths are.
		Refining your "user myths" into a shared realistic vision of users and their work results in fewer arguments and a more usable product.

		The statue of Laocoon nicely illustrates the close connections between psyche, culture, and myth: Laocoon's death resulted from an attempt to defy fate - for attempting to defy a deeply held, and culturally instilled, belief system of the ancient Greeks.
		Many of these insights are distilled in his The Power of Myth.
		The priest Laocoon tried to warn the Trojans against the wooden horse and was destroyed together with his sons by sea serpents for attempting to interfere with the fated course of events.

		Masada was used as a symbol, a remnant of a once-glorious past with proud men fighting to the bitter en against tremendous odds.
		The drama in progress, the excavation of Masada and the virtuoso performance of Yadin with which he conveyed the discoveries to the public made the project as much an exercise in patriotic inspiration as in scientific research.
		Masada, the performance space: the mountain, the narrative, the translation, the poem, and the myth, reflect the cultural transformation of the understanding of events, events for which there is no direct historical access but much emotional interest.

		Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth is essential viewing for anyone old enough to appreciate its vital teachings.
		I was still "seeing" myths, etc. from the "disciplined" perspectives of religion or science (psychology, structural anthropology, etc.) and I tried to fit his comments into "my" world view.
		At any rate, Campbell has studied myths and seems to think they are like the many strands of fiber in a tapestry--each reflecting a particular aspect of an attribute of the divine and togther they form a whole cloth.
