hi! i’m looking to read about mythology but not just collections of myths or retellings of classic stories, though certainly some of that is great. i’m looking for a book that also tackles the role of mythology in a culture/our culture and the like history of how mythologies develop. any recs would be greatly appreciated!

Anything by Joseph Campbell is a great jumping off point . Can’t recommend him enough!
The Hero with a Thousand Faces,
The Power of Myth (read me first! 😁) ,
Myths to Live By,
Primitive Mythology,
The Masks of God,
also A Joseph Campbell companion
