For a Few Myths More

“…Aries shows us how modern images (albeit set in 19th century America)…” Julia, Web of Wyrd No. 7.

For me, that “albeit” sounded like a gauntlet being slapped down. Can we show the presence of myth in films other than Westerns? We don’t plan to go on in great detail, but we suspect that what we’re trying to get across is the suggestion that maybe “The Mythic” is not the stories or rituals, but the substrate out of which our tales and trials grow.
