《千面英雄》 / The Hero with a Thousand Faces
《千面英雄》 / The Hero with a Thousand Faces is the Joseph Campbell / 约瑟夫·坎贝尔 book discussed in 29.千面英雄：俄狄浦斯正在下班挤地铁. The episode presents it as a work with large literary and creative influence but real scholarly controversy: its broad comparison across world myths is powerful as pattern recognition, yet not fully aligned with more historical, source-specific, and transmission-aware mythology research.
The book matters in the wiki because it names 单一神话 and organizes Hero Journey Narrative into departure, initiation, and return. The episode reads those stages through myths, fairy tales, religion, epics, and modern media while keeping Interpretation And Overinterpretation visible: Campbell’s scheme can clarify story structure, but it should not replace local evidence or turn every resemblance into proof of one origin.
