The Power of Myths

The power of myths is immense. Myths can inspire art, establish empires, spark revolutions and motivate leaders. Religions have been founded on faith, and based on myths. Myths also create belief, which leads to faith. From myths come customs; from customs comes culture, and from culture societies. Myths therfore have the power to influence societies. Is that a dangerous thing, since the word 'myth' literally means falsehood ? Not necessarily, since myth is also a form of truth - a truth that is subjective, intuitive, cultural and grounded in faith.
