"This book is timely, necessary, innovative, and follows sound
scholarly principles." Dan Ben-Amos, Professor of Folklore and
Folklife, University of Pennsylvania
"This anthology will fill a gap, and will do so with
distinction." Robert Ackerman, Director, Liberal Arts, The
University of the Arts, Philadelphia
"Robert Segal's collection of readings offers us something
towards understanding the genesis and range of the hero myth and
therefore indirectly of analytical psychology ... Segal's book
gives an introduction to the hero's 'thousand faces'." Journal
of Analytical Psychology
"The selection of material that Segal brings together in this
work is wide ranging. This book does what it sets out to do by
providing a useful sourcebook for the growing variety of hero myth
- a variety which is surely set to increase and develop in the
years ahead." Journal of Contemporary Religion
"Eminently suitable for classroom use." Journal of American Folklore
