Joseph Campbell. Hero With A Thousand Faces is his most famous and most influential work.

Yes, Joseph Campbell. I would highly recommend his Masks of God books, my favorite probably being Primitive Mythology. Kind of surprised to hear you haven't read him, lol.

Oh yes, I've read some of him. I don't have any books of him however, probably why I didn't recognize his name. Thanks for the tip, I'll be sure to look for them!
