world, not this one. Thus individual persons and events are only significant insofar as they partake of the ideal. In and of themselves, especially as they may be unique, they have no significance at all. Myth is interested in principles, forces, cycles, the immense, and the numinous. Particular and mundane events in time and space are specifically not of interest to the mythmaker. They do not tell us of the great recurring cycles, and furthermore, the telling of them might disturb those cycles.
