The Power of Myth: Goddesses & Heroines

In this series, the producers of the highly successful PBS series Joseph Campbell and The Power of Myth with Bill Moyers, respond to the audience’s hunger for more – specifically, to address the importance of the heroine in our lives – and to answer the question: What do myths that feature women teach us? The programs are a journey into the stories of powerful women – from Inanna to Eve – offering fresh insights that reshape how we see ourselves and the stories we live by.

Each program explores the transformative power of myth through the lens of women from ancient traditions. The series features interviews with leading scholars and storytellers exploring themes of The Heroine’s Journey, The First Heroic Journey, The Sacred Feminine, and Including Eve. Together, these stories invite viewers to rediscover the sacred feminine and understand how these ancient tales continue to shape our modern world.
