ABSTRACT
Cassircr says that myths have their own formative laws. Myth seems to have its own way of being; and it can be said of it that it seeks, so to speak, its own ends; thus it can be distinguished, if not separated, from other products of human activity. In The Sacred and the Profanc, Eliade tells us that the religious man feels the need always to exist in a total and organized world, in a cosmos. In Greece the poets subjected the myths to a degree of organization. And when philosophy began in Ionia, the philosophers inherited the myths, borrowed elements of them for their constructions, transcribed them into language they found more acceptable, and passed them on to the Romans and the barbarians. He submit that the biblical myth is considerably more adequate to the actuality of our experience of values than the lucubrations of old Hobbes.
