A myth is not a lie… It’s a special kind of language used to symbolize certain realities beyond space and time. It is information.
“All mythology, whether of the folk or of the literati, preserves the iconography of a spiritual adventure that men have been accomplishing repeatedly for millennia, and which, whenever it occurs, reveals such constant features that the innumerable mythologies of the world resemble each other as dialects of a single language.”
Joseph Campbell
