welli like to think that some myths might have a reasonable explanation that centuries of zealotry, or maybe simple oral story-telling, expanded beyond their original meaning and into some over-arching system of solid belief.
and, furthermore, i think that the lack of a basis in 'reality' doesn't prevent a mythical system of belief from being intriguing in terms of scholarly or, for that matter, every-day interest.
in fact, i like to think that a variegated array of ridiculous beliefs can be seen as unifying, instead of separating and antagonizing.
although believing in all that shit is mad stupid.
