It's interesting how a lot of the themes of stories from several thousand years ago (Odyssey, Jason & the Argonauts) contain the the themes of scary monsters, witches, heroes overcoming danger from supernatural forces etc and recur through so much fiction. This must some deep seated human theme - perhaps from nightmares? We are so much better educated and understand how our world works, but we still read and watch movies about scary monsters, witches etc etc! If Homer were around these days he'd probably be working for Steven Spielberg.
