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.

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.

When I got older, I chose to look at Christianity as another myth.

All the great legends are Templates for human behavior. I would define a myth as a story that has survived.

Myth is an attempt to narrate a whole human experience, of which the purpose is too deep, going too deep in the blood and soul, for mental explanation or description.

There's a reason that all societies and cultures and small bands of humans engage in myth-making. Fundamentally, it is to help us understand ourselves.

You need more people to perpetuate a myth because if the people stop the myth is known to all.

Myth is, after all, the neverending story.
