ABSTRACT

Since the dawn of civilization, people have turned to myths to explain the inexplicable, confront the fears of incomprehensible natural phenomena, find moral guidance, and draw inspiration for their actions. Faced with a nature that terrifies with its phenomena, myths emerge as a tool to grasp the real and render its many facets in understandable and acceptable narratives. Even today, myths and their metaphors are very powerful in the imagination of human beings.
