Quote by Roberto Calasso

“Per ogni mito narrato, c'è un mito non narrato e innominato che gli accenna dall'ombra, affiorando per allusioni, schegge, coincidenze, senza che mai un autore osi raccontarlo di seguito come una singola storia.”

“The primitive mentality does not invent myths, it experiences them. Myths are original revelations of the preconscious psyche, involuntary statements about unconscious psychic happenings, and anything but allegories of physical processes. Such allegories would be an idle amusement for an unscientific intellect. Myths, on the contrary, have vital meaning, Not merely do they represent, they are the psychic life of the primitive tribe, which immediately falls into pieces and decays when it loses its mythological heritage, like a man who has lost his soul. A tribe’s mythology is its living religion, whose loss is always and everywhere, even among the civilised, a moral catastrophe.”
