“When the dust falls from before our eyes, human beings are themselves the gods and demons, acting out, not the piddling business of worldly life, but the great archetypal situations and dramas of the myths. The gods are the archetypes, but they exist as perpetually incarnate in ourselves. In the mythic vision men appear as incarnations of the archetypal gods because the full and eternal significance of what they are doing appears.”
