Myth paves the way for future scientifical and technological discoveries in the near future. However, I believe science is taking over modern myth. Science could be proven with theories, equations, terms, and so forth, whereas myth, cannot be proven whatsoever. Sure, some things that exist today can be correlated with myths, but that could only be a mere coincidence. It's like this.
Myths are like records, and how records are made to be broken.
Myths are made to be proven wrong, with the help of factual evidence to prove otherwise. At the end of the discussion, what I got out of it was that, there was sort of a proficy fulfillment in the myths. It's like that the people or things involved in these stories were destined to carry out certain duties or reach a certain plateau, a certain status of being if you will. The Myths were the reasonings behind the way things were. Secondly, look at the psychiatrist, Dysart, who has a fancy for Greek culture.
