Death is a universal experience. It is something that we all face in one form or another during our lifetime. But what happens after death? This question has been explored in mythology throughout the ages. In this video, we will take a look at the image of death in mythology and its origins based on Joseph Campbell answering the question. He will also briefly explore the meanings that death has held for different cultures throughout history.

Death is often seen as a dark and sinister figure in mythology. This is because death is the end of life. It is the end of our time on this earth. And, for many cultures, it is the end of our journey through the afterlife.

The image of death in mythology has its roots in the fear of the unknown. What happens after we die? This is a question that has plagued humanity for centuries. And, it is a question that mythology seeks to answer.

Death is often seen as a dark and ominous figure in mythology because it represents the end of life. But death also represents change. It is the end of one cycle and the beginning of another. In many cultures, death is seen as a transition from this world to the next. It is a journey that we all must take.

Death has held different meanings for different cultures throughout history. For some, it is a release from the pain and suffering of this world. For others, it is a chance to be reunited with loved ones who have passed on. And, for still others, it is a time of judgment and reckoning.

No matter what your beliefs about death may be, it is clear that the image of death in mythology has been a powerful force in shaping our understanding of this universal experience. Death is a mystery. But, through mythology, we can begin to understand its origins and meanings.
