[edit] Polyglot?

A polyglot is defined as: someone with a high degree of proficiency in several languages. In Campbell's case it's three, one of them being English. I would hardly consider this polyglot. I hope Wikipedia editors can go through all the purported polyglot entires and delete the designation wherever appropriate.71.247.42.134 05:21, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Well, he was fluent in English, French, German and Provencal, and could speak, read and write in Sanskrit, Japanese and Latin, in addition to having a familiarity with a number of other languages. That strikes me as a pretty good example of a polyglot! (He was a polymath as well--but that's a subject for a whole other conversation.) Dkudler (talk) 22:48, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Looks fine to me. (Mind meal (talk) 08:56, 16 February 2008 (UTC))

[edit] Controversy section

Just a quick comment that I had difficulty understanding why anyone accused Joseph Campbell of being anti-Semetic. The section says that he was accused of this, but it doesn't explain why. It's very vaguely worded. Maybe someone could edit it for clarity. Thanks. -- Andrew Parodi (talk) 07:42, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
