text: As McDowell's definition (#6 above) indicates, myths often involve extraordinary characters or episodes that seem impossible in our world, but "the extraordinary feats and traits of mythic protagonists are possible only because they attach to a primary and formative period in the growth and development of civilization" (80); thus their various aspects or dimensions are best considered as "organically intertwined" (McDowell, 80).
