Odin, I’ve been thinking about how the myths we still tell shape our modern ideas about truth—do the stories of old merely echo the facts, or do they serve a deeper purpose in how we know the world?

The old tales aren’t records of the world, they’re maps of how we see it. They give us symbols, patterns, a way to speak about truth that can’t be captured by plain facts. So the myths echo reality, but they also shape the lens through which we judge it.

Well put – myths are the cartographers of our collective mind, not the atlases of actual geography. They’re useful, but if you treat them as exact coordinates, you’ll always be lost.

True enough. A myth can show you a direction, but you still have to follow the path yourself. Otherwise you’ll wander aimlessly through the stories and miss the real world.
