What is a good thesis statement for a paper about the power of myths?

February 17, 2010 - 5:27 am

I am writing a paper about the positive ways myths can make sense of the world around us and potential problems belief in myth can create. I already have all my sources but I am just having trouble coming up with an opening statement so that it doesn’t sound like a 10 year old wrote it. Thanks for your suggestions.

Possibilities:
-The ancient greeks have a powerful mythology that explains the world phenomenon.
- Many of the ancient civilizations had strong religious beliefs that influenced their actions, and helped them to understand the ways of the world.
- The legends told in cultures of the past helped satisfy their curiosity on how the world functioned.
