"So who can explain more of Myth functions?" "Myth has two main functions, The first is to answer the sort of awkward questions that children ask, such as 'Who made the world? How will it end? Who was the first man? Where souls go after death?'...The second function of Myth is to justify an existing social system and account for traditional rites and customs.

They are legends that circulates almost in every culture. The most common stories depicted them as giant lizard with wings or giant serpent with long mustache.

Liliane lifted her head, and her hooded eyes come in contact with Jae Woon's surprised look and Seiran's disbelief expression. "Goddess Athena's descendant? You mean Danial is...?" Seiran almost choked on her biscuit when she heard the shocking news from her mother. "I thought, the story about Goddess Athena is only a myth. a legend of our empire, being passed down from one descendant to another for learning purposes?" " You should probably aware, legend also had a solid background story behind them, Ran," Liliane responded. "The story is passed down from one generation to another generation because they hold some truth in them. A legend is not a baseless story without any evidence in suppor

she asked. "According to the legend," I began, "this rock was once a great warrior, who fought for the people of this land. He fought with all his might, until he was finally defeated by his greatest enemy. But instead of dying, he was transformed into this rock, as a symbol of his strength and bravery."
