"Those who treat others with arrogance and disrespect still bring personal disaster upon themselves."
The reasons that myths are still relevant today is because human nature is the same as it was thousands of years ago. We might have developed more sophisticated technology, live in different locations or speak different languages, but in our core we are the same. So the struggles that the protagonists in the myths face are ones people today struggle with. We can relate to them the same way people could at the time they were created.
I agree with your statements very much so. The "The Creation of the Titans and the Gods" myth shows many aspects that modern day family's use and practice. Reading these myths shows us that even though they were written in a time of different humanity, the same feelings of hatred, betrayal, love, and secrecy are still shown through the telling of the myths.
