Yes there is a mutual connection between literature and myth or we can say the connection between literature and myth is one of mutual dependence. Even though literature cannot be reduced to myth and myth cannot be reduced to literature, neither of the two can exist on its own.Myth has always been “an integral element of literature”.
And considering the fact that the understanding of mythological elements that emerge in art conclusively requires their transformation in literary way where they become “readable” and for this literature emerges as the supreme tool for the readable mode of mythical stories. Thus, literature is not only orginated by, but also inventive for the communication of myth.
