Many people nowadays feel that in present day, there is no longer any reason for myths.
They think that the only people for whom myths are important is the ancient Greeks and Romans. Even if they consider that myths and legends have other origins like Native American or Hawaiian they still think that the old stories do not hold anything for them. This is just not true. To contest this, one need look no further than the story of Sleeping Beauty. Now, more than ever, legends like this affect society.
