I highly recommend this book by writer and academic Joseph Campbell: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hero_with_a_Thousand_Faces https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hero_with_a_Thousand_Fac... (1949). It’s a fascinating study of comparative mythology from cultures around the world.
Joseph Campbell died in 1987, but some of his recorded lectures are available online, which I also recommend.
