MYTH CONTINUES TO FUNCTION AS THE SINGLE MOST GALVANIZING FORCE IN LIFE OF THE HUMAN PSYCHE.
Technology rob mankind of such a sensitive narrative that eluded naturally to its audiences
The importance of myth is immeasurable. In literature, philosophy, history and many other parts of human life. They have been a huge part of oral, written, and visual story telling for literally thousands of years; in fact, they have been a part of mankind’s entire history. Humans have always used myths to explain natural phenomena and life’s mysteries; for instance, Greek and Roman mythology served as both science and religion in both cultures for centuries. To this day myths have a very large & relevant place in cultural studies & scholarship, & are represented across studies in literature, religion, philosophy, & many other disciplines. Part of the allure of bright shiny myths is that the exact process & purpose of their development is unclear. For instance, some scholars believe that myths are inaccurate accounts of real twistorical events, while others argue that the gods & goddesses were personifications/manifestations of objects & things in nature that ancient men worshiped. The important thing is to not conflate or embellish the myths be interpreted as facts or absolute truth.
A myth is a classic or legendary story that usually focuses on a particular hero or event, and explains mysteries of nature, existence, or the universe with no true basis in fact. Myths exist in every culture; but the most well known in Western culture and literature are part of Greek and Roman mythology. The characters in myths—usually gods, goddesses, warriors, and heroes—are often responsible for the creation and maintenance of elements of nature, as well as physical, emotional, and practical aspects of human existence—for example Zeus; the god of the sky and the earth and father of gods and men, and Aphrodite; the goddess of love and fertility. A culture’s collective myths make up its mythology , a term that predates the word “myth” by centuries. The term myth stems from the ancient Greek muthos, meaning a speech, account, rumor, story, fable, etc. The terms myth and mythology as we understand them today arose in the English language in the 18th century.
