Plato wove historical fact into literary myth.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The ancient Greeks have a knack of wrapping truths in myths.
A myth is a lie that conceals or reveals a truth. But if it reveals even a strand of history or truth, that's what gets my adrenaline going.
Myths which are believed in tend to become true.
Since the Greek myths, the greatest stories are premised on the idea of, 'A stranger arrives.'
There can't be a pure myth, especially when the myth has been handed down in the oral tradition. As the stories are told, they change. If the stories don't change they just die.
Combine two words, Myth and History. What do you get? Mystery.
I get a lot of inspiration from research in mythology and folklore. I find that, you know, stories people told each other thousands of years ago are still relevant now.
The myth that everyone once read great literature is just a myth.
Plato was a bore.
I wanted to connect a modern story with a myth that I had read.
