How Did The Myths Formed?

All cultures have developed over time their own myths, consisting of narratives of their history, their religions, and their heroes. The great power of the symbolic meaning of these stories for the culture is a major reason why they survive as long as they do, sometimes for thousands of years. Robert Graves, an English poet, agreed that myths are generated by the cultural needs of the society.
