To answer this, we need to delve more into the human psyche and how they discern a myth.

Myths are basically stories that are made on traditions. Although some of them might have factual origins, otherwise, they are all fictional and concocted.

So to answer the initial question, we know that the world we live in has a liking for fiction as much as they have for reality.

But this was not the only reason why myths were created.

They had a core aim of making people understand things they were sceptical about but never found the answers to.

There's always a profound meaning associated with myths that narrate different stories, from how the world was created to who was the first living being.

Myths and archetypes answer some timeless questions that science cannot answer, as well as set a narrative and explanation around the things that already exist in the world but need acknowledgement.

Like the myths of heroic tales, how virtuous and honest people won the game and the one who chose to lie lost it.

But besides this, unlike fairy tales, its aim is not to create an ideal world but an honest one. To let people know about the binaries that have always existed to torment people or make them happy.

Like in all bad, there would be good; if there exists a lie, there would be a truth; if there are angels, there would definitely be evils.

So myths have a far more critical role in our world; they are not mere stories or narratives without any meaning; instead, they have a lot to say.
