" So say the Africans, and the rich variety of worldwide mythology proves that God chose wisely! Myths are stories that are based on tradition. Some may have factual origins, while others are completely fictional. But myths are more than mere stories and they serve a more profound purpose in ancient and modern cultures. Myths are sacred tales that explain the world and man's experience. The subjects of myths reflect the universal concerns of mankind throughout history: birth, death, the afterlife, the origin of man and the world, good and evil and the nature of man himself.

Unlike fairy tales, myths are not always optimistic. Myths are also pervasive in the arts and advertising, for a very simple reason. When Jacqueline Kennedy referred to her husband's tenure as a new Camelot, we understand that she meant it was a golden age, like that of King Arthur. Bibliography. This American Life.

Heroes: What They Do & Why We Need Them

Allison and George R. Goethals In Part 1 of this series, we introduced the concept of the Heroic Leadership Dynamic, which we define as a system of psychological forces that can explain how humans are drawn to hero stories, how they benefit from these stories, and how the stories help people become heroes themselves. We suspect that early humans first told hero stories at the end of the day, in the darkness, huddled around fires. These narratives supplied meaning, hope, and a welcome escape from the miseries of life. We propose that people benefit from hero stories in at least two essential ways. Theologian Richard Rohr argues that hero stories encourage people to think transrationally about ideas that seem to defy rational analysis.
