This paper examines the role of myths and symbols in society through the use of a hypothetical dialogue. The paper begins by explaining what myths are and the functions they serve. Mythology and mythical symbols of past and present are compared. These changes in the nature of mythological symbols are explored through a dialogue between an artist and a media producer. During this dialogue, the importance of the study of myths as symbols in an age of global and digital communication becomes apparent. The idea that a world mythodology may evolve from media experiences is introduced. If this is the case, visual literacy becomes important in order to prevent manipulation through symbolism.
