"Myths have served as cosmology and theology, as entertainment and as educational. They are actually all of these things and probably more. The myth is what the individual or the culture needs it to be. It is not the form that is important as much as the function: a way to experience and describe the mystical aspects of life; a means to understanding and explaining the scientific truths that have, at times, been beyond the abilities of science; to support and validate the social order; and to provide guidelines for living."More papers on The Mythic Hero:
