Myths reflect changes in societal attitudes toward nature by illustrating evolving relationships with the environment. As cultures transition from viewing nature as a resource to be exploited, to a force to be revered and respected, myths often depict this shift through stories of harmony and conflict. Respect for natural elements is emphasized in many indigenous narratives, contrasting with exploitative explorations found in more modern myths. Consequently, mythological narratives serve as cultural barometers, revealing how communities have responded to environmental challenges and their evolving perceptions of sustainability.
