Creative cultures.
So in Myth, we draw a lot of parallels to modern media, beliefs, and culture.
And I've come to realize that most cultures' creativity seems to have died out.
Look at the Baltic countries. They created Norse myth, the Nibelung, the Svartalfar, the Aesir and Vanir- they created this entire pantheon and world, essentially, and what have they done lately?
What about Greece and Italy? Their myths are some of the most well known; their creativity continued on into the Renaissance; but lately, what have they done?
Japan has remained as creative as it used to be, I think. Russia still has a touch of it. Germany's weird, because their focus has totally shifted to music, but it's highly creative music, so.
It's funny too how people seem to have just forgotten about mythology. These deities were thought to be real and now barely anyone takes them seriously.
Humans are weird.
