Not very inspired today... so just notes

Class Notes:
Hero: cultural, extraordinary, purpose, share knowledge
Monomyth: universally shared stories

1871 - Taylor             1909 - Rank                   1949 - Campbell
Babies ---------------> distinguished parents       collective
Exposed ------------->
Raised return ------->
                                prophecy
                                returns and kills father

departure - familiar world
initiation - journal temptation
return - boon killing father

Archetype: very typical example of a person or thing; outline of a hero
Heracles: Acheles - rivergod
               man/river, birth, unconsciousness
               snake - force associated with his childhood
               bull - grain, Inanna sent bull to Gilgamesh because he refused her
              fertility - trasition from goddess in charge to god in charge

That is all for today... sigh.
