what would you say is your favourite myth?
and
what is the true purpose of mythology?
I have not favourite myth as such but I am interested in
Cassandra's Myth because it also plays on the notiong of curse.
and
most intriquing is Plato's Myth of the Cave.
I do not know whether there is a purpose for a myth because many written stories and reported facts canbe turned into myths because they cannot be proven for example Plato's description of Atlantis.
