Mythology as a source of Philosophical insperation.

To all you aspiring Aristotles and Socrates out there, have you run out of interesting thoughts? Do you feel as though you've run out of things to inspire you to think? Well then one does not need to wait a century for new issues to be brought up, one need only look to the past for interesting issues to get ones brain working.
Look toward mythology my good philosophers. Myths were originally created to explain the world around us. So why not look toward it for clues as to why things are? Why not challenge the concepts behind myths? Why not use mythology as a possible path to truth?
I do not say that mythology is THE path to truth. There are many paths to an equal amount of truths. But even so, it is A path. And paths are meant to be traveled.
