That's an interesting interpretation. How do you know that's the purpose of myths rather than the myths being the result of some multicultural game of chinese whispers (telephone), seasoned with a fair share of cultural hyperbole, about some pretty dramatic events that actually happened eons ago that later cultures attempted to preserve and propagate to their successors, but the original message got lost in translation?
