Frye Lightbulb:
Since I am in Literary Criticism and have read some of the more classical critics in class (Longinus, Plato) I found this statement interesting

"Our starting point here is the word myth, in its common and popular sense of a story (mythos), usually about gods, and usually referred back to a remote past. I am still emphasizing (I will not use the word “privileging”) the narrative aspect of literature. The typical myths just mentioned arise in the earlier stage of social development, before the verbal controls of logic and evidence are firmly established. Literary criticism is mainly confined to the era of written documents, so that oral and pre-mythical cultures have to be passed over here. " -Words of Power
