Mithology does not have a single author, itisnot the Gospel of John. Mouthaftermouth, penafterpen, contributions are added to the stories of the myth, and the caughtfish come awayever so heavier and longer.
Every text, every image pertaining to the mythis in itsown nature interpretable, subject to improvisation, to exaggerating the vision, suggests an interpretation and acclaims for a rewriting.
