Mythology addresses the intricate relationship between life and death through various narratives that explore the existential journey of beings. In many cultures, myths depict death as not an end but a transition, such as in the Egyptian Book of the Dead, illustrating the afterlife's significance. Other myths, like the story of Persephone, signify the cyclical nature of existence, connecting life, death, and rebirth. These myths encourage reflections on mortality, creating a better understanding of life's temporary nature and the importance of legacy.
