This attitude is illustrated by e.g. Consentino (1998), who remarks "It is just as important
to stress differences as similarities,
to avoid creating a (Joseph) Campbell soup of myths
that loses all local flavor."[14] Similarly, Ellwood (1999) stated "
mircea_popescu: "Scholars have questioned
the validity or usefulness of
the monomyth category.
