Why are myths obsolete?

It is not true that myths are obsolete. While some ancient myths may no longer reflect our current understanding of the world, they can still serve valuable purposes in literature, folklore, and cultural studies. Many contemporary novels, movies, and art often incorporate modern interpretations and adaptations of old myths. Furthermore, mythical narratives from history can provide insights into ancient societal customs, beliefs, and the human experience before recorded history began. In short, while their scientific content may have been replaced by rational explanations, the cultural role of myths remains relevant.
