Blog Number Three

I am answering:
How do myths survive the passage of time?
Why do people in the 21st Century still know, study and use ancient stories like myths?
When will myths cease to exist?

Myths have been too important to our history to forget about, let alone stop telling. Myths survived through all these time changes because without myths our modern story telling would not be at all the same. We still know about, study and talk about mythology from centuries before, because it is important to us. It is very interesting to hear about how the ancient civilizations, cultures, and peoples believed the world was. Myths survive in books, television, and music. When you hear Hercules, you associate him with Hades, Zeus, Hera, and many of the mythological monsters. Myths will never cease to exist, because they are our history. They are our old ways, giving contrast to our new ways, our old ideas, and explanations. Mythology will never die, because there too many ways it exists.


Unless the Earth explodes, or all humanity dies, and all our books, movies, and records are destroyed.
