"The Hound of Hell", eh! Mythology, demonology are powerful contributors to narrative formation! Using them at all, though, takes you ever deeper into the rabbit hole of spiritual apperception narrative. Stories, which is what "narratives" are, transmit cultural values from one generation to the next. Mythological figures epitomize, illustrate...embody human characteristics which, for various reasons, must be socially addressed. Instantiation in cultural norms follows straightaway. Everyone sees the truth of the myth in terms of his own nature: he recognizes, in the viciousness of Cerberus, his own viciousness. It's how society, the collective, comes to grips with its membership, the individual...sometimes the "grip" is a stranglehold...to which the individual may respond, uh, VICIOUSLY...hahaha..."Today, in myth class, we learned how to be vicious!"
