Does mythology appear in modern life?
The physical characters aren't real, but we get many expressions and words from mythology. EXAMPLES:-We get the word Echo from Greek Mythology, who was a woman that was cursed so that she could only repeat the last words people said.-We get narcissistic from Narcissus, a man in Greek Mythology, who all women fell in love with. When he bent down to drink from a pool, he saw his reflection and wouldn't leave the pool, mesmerized by his beautiful reflection. The gods took pity on him and turned him into a flower which is also named after him.-We get Thursday from Thor, the god of lightning in Norse(Viking) Mythology.(Thorsday. See the similarity?)-We get the phrase Achilles's Heel from the man in Greek Mythology who his mother dipped him in the River Styx as a baby, making him invincible everywhere but his heel, where his mother held him by. He was later shot in his heel in battle and killed. The phrase we get this from means something you're not good at. EX: I get all A's in English, but Math is my Achilles's Heel.I would add that since what we consider mythology was once a religion, it's altogether possible that in a few thousand years, humans would look back on OUR religion as mythology.
