In 1949, anthropologist Joseph Campbell published “The Hero of a Thousand Faces”, completely revolutionising the way we understand stories. His groundbreaking work combined psychological elements proposed by Carl Jung about symbols and archetypes, with the identification of coincidences in religious passages, legends, traditions and tales from around the world, proposing the term monomyth as a universal mythological structure applicable to all societies or groups of individuals that have built, over at least three generations, a collective identity.
