Linking to Myths

Ben Moore-Linking-
I read an article by Frances Harwood that dealt with how certain literate and nonliterate groups spaced themseleves concerning the location to where certain myths take place. She researched the matter because the difference between the groups concerning how far they lived from these special places was incredible. She found that the nonliterate cultures were temporal to the places where myths had taken place, whereas literate cultures were spatial to the locations. I and she both arose the question whether the location of the culture in realtion to where myths in their culture took place actually influeneced the social life of the culture. I found the article interesting and informative because I never really wondered if being to close proximity of where Jesus had died really had any effect on the churches around them.
