This statement signifies that many modern writers have employed myths and legends to convey their sense and view life. In a way this practice itself is like myth and is a recurrent pattern. In ancient India and Greece myths served as the sources material for drama. Re-telling or the re-enactment of old myths in modern terms underlines the universality of the experience that is embodied in stories.
