Context of Practice 3 - Mythology Books

To help prove the relation to the aspects described of heroes in Joseph Campbell's book and Vladimir Propp's book I have looked into mythologies that aren't mentioned in their books.
Using Arthur Cotterell's 'Mythology of Greece and Rome' and Rachel Storm's ' Egyptian Mythology' I identified mythologies which have stories that can help support the aspects shown within Campbell's and Propp's books.

Arthur Cotterell's book and Rachel Storm's book:

With these I identify stories of Perseus, Theseus and Jason and the Argonauts from Greek mythology as well as story of Egyptian Goddess Isis from Egyptian mythology.

Within these I can identify various aspects (such as adventure, trails and help of supernatural origins) that correspond to what Campbell and Propp say in their respective books.

Images shown for each story I identified:

Jason and the Argonauts

Theseus in the maze with the Minotaur

Egyptian Goddess Isis
