Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider The Hero with a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell. Recommended by 14 sources.
“Campbell’s work reads like a dense academic tour through world mythology, cataloging the hero’s journey in exhausting detail. You’ll encounter countless myths, rituals, and symbols tied to a common monomyth pattern. The main value lies in its ability to unveil the deep structure beneath disparate stories, from ancient epics to modern dreams. Annoyingly, the prose is thick with Jungian and Freudian interpretation, and the comparative method can feel repetitive and overreaching. It’s a book to study, not to skim—rewarding for the patient, cloying for the skeptical.”
