Six programmes about the vitality and relevance of myth.
3: The First Storytellers. The earliest myths, says Joseph Campbell , come down to us as 'echoes of the first story. They come out of an elite experience, the experience of people, particularly gifted, whose ears are open to the song of the universe.' In a tribal culture this was the function of the shamans. For us, Campbell tells Bill Moyers , the mythic imagination is kept alive by writers and artists. In a programme which moves from the prehistoric cave paintings in Lascaux to the work of Picasso and from Sioux myths to James Joyce , Campbell explores the wonders of the creative imagination. He calls it 'the landscape of the soul ... a transformation of consciousness.' Producer Roger Stott
