Myths often explain complex phenomena in relatable, everyday terms to make them accessible and understandable for people. By using familiar characters, situations, and narratives, myths translate abstract concepts into concrete stories that resonate with human experiences. This approach not only conveys moral lessons and cultural values but also helps individuals make sense of the world around them, providing comfort and context in the face of uncertainty. Ultimately, myths serve to bridge the gap between the mundane and the mysterious, enriching our understanding of existence.
