I enjoyed your video. I think myths encompass multiple meanings. It is a way to pass on knowledge while being able to bypass authority. The Dogon Tribe explains myths that way. The more curious you are, the more secrets you can attain with enlightenment as the final goal. But you must seek it out fervently.

Interesting insights, I agree. I think at the base level, myths can be used as a political tool to justify the rule of a particular leader or organization. However, the spiritual truths are there, buried and waiting for those who want to engage deeply with the material. Thanks for your mention of the Dogon Tribe, I'm curious to learn more about them.

Regarding the myth of Zeus consuming Metis. One of the mysteries in Greek mythology is the true name of Athena. We know from archaeology that the goddess was named after the city of Athens which was later mythologized with the city being named after the goddess. Mycenean inscriptions refer to her as "the Lady of Athens". So it is likely that Athena was her epithet and not her actual name. So what was her real name? Considering that Athena is nearly identical in form and function with her mother Metis, it may be that Zeus consuming Metis and later "giving birth" to Athena from his forehead describes the transformation of Metis into Athena via Zeus.

An example of a charter myth is the patronage of Athens. The people of Athens voted whether the patron should be Athena or Poseidon. The men who worked the sea voted for Poseidon and the women who worked the land voted for Athena. The contest was won by Athena which angered Poseidon. To placate the sea god, the men of Athens revoked the women's right to vote.

I've heard this story but was unaware of the unfortunate outcome. Myth can unfortunately be used as a political tool to enforce our own biases and prejudices.
