The word ‘myth’ points towards a time before we can remember what we remembered; sacred, archetypal narratives rendered inert over the course of modern civilisation’s ongoing fixation on the material world.

The stories we tell today of ancient pantheons of gods and goddesses – Ra, Zeus, Venus, Shiva, Odin, and on and on – seem to speak of a simpler age and a people who believed with certainty in their hearts and minds. But this isn’t necessarily the case, at least any more so than someone from a future era assuming that we of today’s world ‘believe’ with any certainty in the forces and abstract systems which shape our ideas.

As individuals and communities, it’s impossible for us to ignore the realm of brand names, celebrities, GDPs and market growth, corporate and state entities, freedom and democracy, the Judeo-Christian ‘God,’ or the Buddha or Allah, or Quantum particles shifting beyond our capacity to measure – their immanence is always at play, yet their meaning never fixed.

When we read texts based on ancient myths like Homer’s epics, it behooves us to resist the temptation to believe naively that those who heard them in the days of their first tellings took them as literal truths. If they were anything like we are, we might assume they thought of these stories as hybrid forms containing elements of a shared history, and various allegorical allusions woven into a tapestry of shared morals, desires, expectations and so on.

Before they were fixed on the page, myths are thought to have been entirely malleable in the hands of a deft narrator. In such a way, the parent telling her child bed-time stories of gods and spirits and heroes would have held the same authority over their rendition as did bards, priests and oracles. Each who entered into the process of a narrative’s representation shaped it in her own way.

The gods, and the myths which described their origin were what was simply ‘out there’, beyond our ability to ‘know’. Their names and faces were not necessarily literal truths etched in stone, but rather emblems for the illimitable and incommensurate mysteries of life.

Before we dismiss mythos as the stuff of infantile fantasy, we might do well to examine the ways that we fill in the gaps of our own knowledge with symbols and approximations of the unknown into something we can grasp, however fancifully.

Understanding myth as an alternative – albeit far more abstract – mode of engaging with an infinitely complex existence can only complement our capacity to create and build upon knowledge.
