Myths, traditional stories, and legends have been told around the world for generations.  They bring us together, no matter our cultural backgrounds, with their emphasis on things we value highly, fear deeply or hope in fervently.  The details vary from society to society, but those same yearnings are expressed.

The stories fire our imaginations as deities, heroes, and strange creatures of every description come to life allowing us to explore the viewpoints, activities, and beliefs of other cultures.  I remember being taught in school that a myth was an invented story used to explain why things are, where things came from, who did something, and how human beings should think and behave.

Today with so much information available at our finger tips man continues to search for the answers to the same questions.  We desire to know the truth about who we are, what our purpose is and what lies beyond this material world we live in.
