d have caused a lot of people to think about what they always took for granted. It’s for this reason that I enjoyed this story. Just knowing about some of the myths taught to us in classes on Greek myth lets me enjoy this work. If I knew all the myths, maybe I would change my mind or maybe I would like it even more. Although I did enjoy the story, I feel that that is all it is, a story and nothing more. I like to have answers for everything and the only way I can trust my answers is if there is proof. To believe myths and stories of the like there needs to be faith since there is no real proof. It is for this reason that I can’t take this myth or even any other myth to be the truth about the creation of humans. But I do admit that it sounds a whole lot better than the theory of evolution. I feel that not everyone is like myself, so myths are a very good thing because it gives them something to believe in. Other people can have faith without proof, which is clearly shown by the popularity of religions in every culture of this world. It is for this reason that they are not only good but needed as well. Who knows, maybe one thousand years from now, Plato’s Symposium will be the only thing remaining from our civilization. Perhaps someone will find it and think of it as a bible. They would think that Plato’s account of the creation of humans is true. Maybe from this book a whole other set of myths could arise. Anything can happen, just like in myths....
