Even if this was all true (it’s not), mythology is important. We have always and continue to define ourselves according to all sorts of myths. They help to establish our own collective identities, our beliefs, and our sense of purpose.

Recognizing and celebrating a regional mythology that developed over integral formative years of a community are a healthy component of community well being and good will.
