You hit on a very interesting topic, multitudes from a single source. A PBS documentary on Jason and the Argonauts made a similar point, stating that James T. Kirk and his crew were merely the most recent incarnation of Jason’s voyage. From my “basic” understanding of Campbell’s work, fiction comes from a few fundamental source myths and like your fractal reference, writers continue to uncoil their own version of these fundamental stories. It is a journey I find myself on both in my work and in life.

Please continue your labors in this forum, in print and in the classroom. They all are appreciated by your many fans and students and at times give credence to my morning coffee. Mug in hand, I can stare out the window without guilt because your insights have sparked inspiration within the limited gland between my eyes.
