Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey is nothing short of a cultural phenomenon. His best-known book, The Hero with a Thousand Faces was a bestseller when it was released in 1949. It was a bestseller again in the 1960s when the psychedelic hippie movement discovered mythology as a road map to the inward journey. Then a bestseller again when The Power of Myth series was aired. So like it or hate it, Campbell has had a profound influence, which is not without critics of various types. This essay looks at some criticisms of Campbell and the Hero's Journey.
