Mythology, are the Stories Still Valid Today?

Back in May, I was a guest blogger on Roy Huffs Blog when I posted the expression and want to founder it here with you today. Roy is the origin of the Everville Series and non too colossal ago I hosted a ch all(prenominal)enger he was discharge for his second word of honor in the serial: The City of Worms. Firstly, Id exchangeable to say give thanks you to Roy for inviting me to be a guest blogger on his website. It is a massive honour and I hope you revel my post. Im a fight of fan of mythology, specially Greek myths, nevertheless am non an expert nor heart to be one. I love the stories, acquit learned a great engage from them and continue to do so. Back to the title of this post; this is a question I have been intercommunicate myself for a firearm now. And the conclusion I have have sex to is, yes. For me any stylus. But first, lets point what is mythology. If you look it up in a dictionary it states: Mythology is a body of myths, especially one associated with a particular culture, person, etc . collins Concise Dictionary, 1989. I prefer Joseph Campbells comment: There is a mythology that relates you to your nature and to the born(p) orbit, of which youre a part. And there is the mythology that is strictly sociological, linking you to a particular society. oppugn with Bill Moyers, The reason of Myth, 1986. He explained how mythos con god an important part in all cultures, Western and Eastern, the lessons hoi polloi learned and the friendship gained. These are noneffervescent valid today. Yes, they may seem date to our way of cerebration but if you deconstruct the stories, one brook link them to our effortless lives. In old-fashioned societies where writing had not been invented, the people find a way to illustrate animation in its legion(predicate) forms. They needed a way to chafe people empathize what was happening not only in the natural world but too the actions of individuals. For example, the mythology of Herakles (Greek) or Hercules (Roman), a hero and genus Zeus son, had killed his married woman and children. To regret for his behaviour he was told to complete ten tasks. He didnt progress to it was his family he slaughtered. Hera, the wife of Zeus interfered and do him temporarily insane. The civilise of the story was to commemorate the consequences of behaviour and acts of retribution. \n
