I'm amazed that noone has yet replied to such an excellent thought-provoking post. I'm sure Penni will have something scintillant to say. My $.02 (and a slight semantic adjustment on a previous statement of Penni's) is that society (including intimate societies like family and tribe) use the mythological format to communicate the universal ideas. These ideas are necessary to transmit any ethical/moral teaching. Religion uses mythology as the vehicle for the "how and why" types of answers. But the use of myth is not the exclusive province of religion. Any and all teaching of values uses the language of myth. Imho. So - I think that archetypal stories like Homer's Odyssey serve to instill a sense of the Greek concept of virtue, a moral idea which I rank among the greatest human achievements to date.
