Asap ! the archetypes established in ancient mythology a. capture historical facts. b. provide ideas for improved cultural interaction. c. continue to inspire modern-day artists. d. explain scientific phenomena.

a). does not make much sense, as we now know most myths to be false and as such they were obviously not used as a form of record of historical events.

b). makes not much sense as it focused instead on the feats of gods and heroes as opposed to speaking of how certain cultures could communicate better.

c). is true along with d). The stories of old mythology continue, day in and day out, to inspire the works of many modern day artists.

d). is probably the best answer of them all. We see this frequently in mythology — in the days of old, thunderstorms were not blamed on the weather but on the rage of Zeus! Earthquakes were not a matter of tectonic plates shifting but of Neptune’s rage splitting the barrier between Earth and Hell!
