Line 1:
Line 1: − The '''monomyth''' is a theoretical "first myth" common to all human beings throughout the world, perhaps stemming from [[Jung]]ian archetypical knowledge. The term was first coined and the theory made famous by American literary critic and author [[Joseph Campbell]] in his books ''The Hero with a Thousand Faces'' and ''The Masks of God'', wherein he mapped out the typical monomythic passage in several elaborate stages through which the prototypical ur-hero would pass. They include "The Call," the "Apotheosis," and the "Return." This approach to literary analysis is part of the overall theory known as [[neoconstruction]]ism, and has proven extremely attractive to a variety of people, including filmmaker [[George Lucas]], who was strongly influenced by the notion of the monomyth.+ − ==See Also==+ − *[[King Arthur]]+ − *[[Star Wars]] − == External Links ==+ − * http://monomyth.org/ - Information about and explanations of the monomyth concept+ + + − [[category:Mythology]]+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

A place where nobody dared to go
The love that we came to know
They call it Xanadu
And now
Open your eyes and see
What we have made is real
We are in Xanadu
A million lights are dancing
And there you are
A shooting star
An everlasting world
And you're here with me
Eternally
Xanadu, Xanadu,
(now we are here)
In Xanadu
Xanadu, Xanadu,
(now we are here)
In Xanadu
Xanadu, your neon lights will shine
For you, Xanadu
The love
The echoes of long ago
You needed the world to know
They are in Xanadu
The dream
That came through a million years
That lived on through all the tears
It came to Xanadu
A million lights are dancing
And there you are
A shooting star
An everlasting world
And you're here with me
Eternally
Xanadu, Xanadu,
(now we are here)
In Xanadu
Xanadu, Xanadu,
(now we are here)
In Xanadu
Now that I'm here
Now that you're near in Xanadu
Now that I'm here
Now that you're near in Xanadu
Xanadu...
