The cyclical nature of time in mythology often symbolizes renewal, regeneration, and the endless cycle of life, death, and rebirth. Many cultures depict creation and destruction as ongoing processes, showing that every ending leads to a new beginning. This concept manifests in various myths, such as the Four Seasons or the circle of life in many indigenous cultures. These stories reflect humanity's understanding of existence as a part of a larger, interconnected cycle, emphasizing the importance of each phase and the lessons learned throughout each cycle.
