Almost all stories consist of a few common structural elements found universally in myths. Understanding the mythic stories and their corresponding structure helps writers deepen their screenplays. Mythologist, Margo Meck, Ph.D., sets forth the character archetypes common in “the hero’s journey,” as well as the mythic structure that all great films follow using film clips and examples from mythological narratives.

Margo Meck is a published author and has a PhD in Mythology from Pacifica Graduate Institute, Santa Barbara, CA, lecturing on “Personal Mythology,” “Proof of Identity in Myth and Fairytale,” and “Psyche and Nature” frequently.

And, just for fun and to whet your appetite for the evening, here is a link to a site that will help you create your own mythology.
