Just as dreams, as Jung has shown, are related in a compensatory way to the current state of the consciousness of the dreamer, so the myths, we may assume, are related to the collective state of consciousness of a certain time. But who is its dreamer? We could presume to say the collective ego of the tribe or populace, that is, the commonly held beliefs and attitudes, the collective consciousness. But this leads to another question which is important for the interpretation of a myth taken as a collective dream: there is no individual ego to whom one could turn for associations to help establish the context in which the dream occurs. How can we interpret a myth without the particular point of reference we have for individual dreams in the person of the dreamer? Here the only context available is the culture of the time in which the myth arose and was valued. Myths are therefore like reflections or mirrorings of certain cultural situations of mankind, and like great, archetypal individual dreams, they contain deep intuitions and anticipations of further developments, and thus they can be considered as milestones in the development of human

Myths that are passed on from generation to generation have been around for thousands of years. These stories that have been constantly retold are used as a mode of explanation and comprehension of the time period. They are a massive powerhouse in shaping a civilization’s culture (Sayre, 22). Some of the more specific roles that a myth withholds includes to further frame and show the beliefs of those existing in the prehistoric era and to explain popular rituals.

Myth is a body of story that matters—the patterns present in mythology run deeply in the human psyche

Mythology is the study of the language used to express experiences with and understandings of the “absolute reality.” There are four main functions that make up and are the foundation of mythology: Each of these functions plays a major role in categorizing the ideas and characters in their respective groups or section. To name these four functions there is the Mystical function which is also known as the sacred or universal function. The next function is the cosmological function or metaphor (character) function. Then comes the social or profane (personal function) which is one of the main functions that is involved in the idea of mythology. The last of the four functions is the pedagogical function or the moral function of

Many ancient legends recur in different cultures. The general theme gives the same message or just has striking similarities but each story differs in many aspects. New cultures develop from the older ones. They do so by taking stories from older ones and further developing it to mirror their own time. One story that has been repeated in several cultures is the legend of the disastrous flood. The epic of Gilgamesh and the Bibles Story Noah's Ark have this legend in them but specific details differ on several occasions.

The stories of Antigone, Gilgamesh, and Genesis were stories that are applicable even in situations happening today. These all have universal themes and have symbols. These stories are iconic because the way the authors’ composed the stories. The authors used literary devices to portray underlying messages. These stories have common elements, such as theme, even though they were written in different decades.

Myth is the traditional tales and beliefs. It contains unknown origins, history, and cultures. And study of myths is mythology. Psychologist-philosopher Carl Jung has a theory, which is all persons are born with archetypes. His theory is in mythology. Archetype is a model that organized one's thinking about human beings and the nature in the universe. There are five categories of archetypes: The hero, the circle, the journey, the garden, and gods as human beings. Just I mentioned before, there are different archetypes, and I will talk about the heroic archetypes.

Mythologies

First, myth plays a role in human psychology as a medium for expressing unconscious mind since humans psychologically need to express their unconscious and avoid the repression of it. According to Jung, myth is “projection of the collective unconscious” (Jung Mythology ex. 9) and “we should everywhere come upon the same myth-motifs” (Jung Mythology ex. 4). This shows that the whole of myths over the world entail universal patterns, called archetypes. These archetypes are stored in humans’ unconscious mind (Jung Mythology ex. 3) and come from “constantly repeated experiences of humanity” (Jung Mythology ex. 7). Modern humans can have the same experiences with the primitives throughout history as the archetypes influences humans to experience

We can label archetypes as the blueprint of human patterns. The myths of a culture reveal its values and relationship values. Archetypal myths tell us of our human family story and the roles we play. They tell us about attitudes and values that shape us and are expected of us- what is in our genetic memory, so to speak, and is part of our perceptions and

Myths, some parts speculated to be true and many not, have always been part of our lives. However, as one glances across the different myths of different cultures, one can find that some portion of two different myths can be eerily similar to each other, causing one to speculate whether they have made contact with one another long time ago in history. This led to the question that people constantly try to prove: do myths that have overlapping ideas verify actual historical truths and similar culture between origins of myths?

Focusing on two of history’s most notorious mythologies, Greek and Roman, one may believe that they are exceedingly comparable; however, beyond a first glance, it is clear that each system is extremely distinguished. The Roman Empire, developed nearly a millennia following the great, Greek Trojan war, was highly influenced by the elaborate Greek myths of gods, goddesses, monsters, and mythical creatures. Their captivation of Greek culture bore a permanent effect on the Roman Empire, as Rome adopted much that defined Greece, including its art, philosophy, literature, drama, and most importantly, mythology. However, despite their indistinguishable origins, Roman and Greek mythologies prove to be very individualized.

“It’s a Myth.” A term commonly used today but what does it mean? It is a term used to describe the questions humans cannot answer such as the explanation of the meaning of the universe or why we are here. Myths reflect human nature, with its needs and desires, hopes and fears (Rosenberg, 2006). Academically myths are studied to understand the anthropology of past cultures. My definition of a myth is tales or stories passed down from generation to generation that gives us our beliefs and guiding principles which we use to determine how we will interact with the world.

Claude Levi-Strauss’s theory of binary oppositions was extremely influential in the anthropological world and fueled the reaction seen among the other anthropologists discussed here in this paper. Levi-Strauss proposed that binary oppositions are used to give things meaning; he argues that they act as organising principles of rituals and myths and construct the thought patterns of a culture. This can be seen, for example, in the way he examined and deconstructed myths: he asserted that every myth contained one or more sets of binary oppositions, saying that “all narratives have to be driven by a conflict that was caused by a series of opposing forces” (Levi-Strauss 34). This quote demonstrates how his believed all myths and rituals were based on universal contradictions. These contradictions within a myth are what it seeks to resolve within its narrative. In

The word ‘myth’ is derived from the Greek word ‘mythos’, which means a traditional tale common to the member of a tribe, race or nation. It usually involves the supernatural elements to explain some natural phenomenon in boldly imaginative terms. Today myth has become one of the most prominent terms in contemporary literature analysis. It was Northrop Frye, one of the most influential myth critics (others including Robert Graves, Francis Fersusson, Richard Chase, Philip Wheelwright), who discovered certain formulas in the word order. He identified these formulas as the “conventional myths and metaphors” which he calls "archetypes". C.G. Jung was of the view the materials of the
