Value of Myths
Throughout time myths have stood out to children and adults they are about heroic acts and life in the past with gods and goddess. Myths have no definition every person sees them differently and understands the story behind differently, compared the the person sitting beside them. Myths started on the island of Crete and where sophisticated enough to create 4 story buildings with plumbing and skylights and could be told orally from generation to generation. Myths were and still are valuable to anybody and everybody that wants to listen and be intrigued my them. When myths first appeared years and years ago they were not called myths they were stories and people believed them, but now in the 21st century they serve a different purpose and that is to entertain us and some times the stories are about modern day people.

That is very true, if two people hear the exact same myth, they are likely to interpret it in different ways. The way that they interpret the myth is most likely influenced by heir own experiences. Like you said myths are of great value to everyone who hears them.
ReplyDeleteI agree as well. Things like our character, experiences, and surroundings shape who we are as a person and how we interpret things like myths.
