When in elementary school, I had a friend who was just obsessed with myths. I always told him that they weren't real but he wouldn't believe me. So I set out on a quest to prove him wrong and started a research on myths of different types. I already knew myths were unreal but the results shocked me even more. Everything was so nonsensical; in fact, they were just ways our ancestors brought up in order to understand the unknown. For instance, the greeks explained echos, a phenomenon resulting from reflection of sound, as a gossip who was cursed by a goddess to repeat everything that people said. Umbelievable right. It gets even crazier; the Egyptians believed that cats, what we see as cute little pets, were guardians of the underworld. I know that by now my friend is mature enough to realize they were all lies and if not, I'm sure there's a problem with his head that needs to be fixed.
I mean…these are crazy for sure, but I kind of fancy mythology myself. Lol I think I would’ve been great friends with your friend. You should bring him here sometime.
I know about the cats one, from my very own interest in greek mythology. There are even more interesting ones about how people fall in love - Cupid, Aphrodite and the likes.
Oh also, you should add the source of the picture you used in your post. If it’s generated using AI, a simple “Cover image was generated using AI” will do.
Thanks for the remark. I'll heed to your advice about the source of the cover image next time.
