I think why we as a species cling so tightly to our myths..because for a really long time, it was the only entertainment available.

Storytelling.


Repeating the same stories over and over or songs, is still something we love to do with our time. We add art, and effects and all the magic our tech can muster to a single purpose. To entertain ourselves and lose ourselves in stories.

Escaping into the stories such that constant pain/stress of reality doesn't wear us down.

Now stories are everywhere..but still often carry a common theme.
