Why myths are still relevant?

Myths have been used to explain things that we couldn´t
understand because of the lack of instruments or
knowledge to find out by ourselves. In most cultures this
“phenomenon” was made by a God/Goddess or magic
creatures that were relied to do a certain thing such as the
seasons, what happens to a human´s soul, or feelings like
falling in love or having luck in war.

The most known stories about these creatures are the

among each other like Hades; Greek king of the

underworld to Pluton, the roman one, to give an example. Here are some of them:
The spring´s myth:

This myth was used to explain why this season exists, and it is about Persephone,
goddess of spring and daughter of Zeus and Demeter,
and how one day Hades starts to fall in love with her
to the point he decides to take her to the underworld
to be his bride. Demeter, goddess of harvest and
fertility, didn´t know where she was so she looked for
all around the world to find her, but it did not find her.
Deeply sad, she forgets to do her work and the planet
stars to cool down and plants die, so Apollo asks help
to Zeus and she´s found with Hades. Because at that
moment she couldn´t get out of the underworld they
decided a deal; she will spend six months on earth with
her mother Demeter (it would be represented as spring
and summer) and she will spend six months in the
underworld (it would be autumn and winter).

Not all of them are about just God and magical
creatures, there are also about demigods (half god Source: http://the-demonic-

heroes or are participants of situations that leave a
lesson to humanity. One of them is the fall of Icarus:
