Story cycles throughout various cultures often explore themes of life, death, and rebirth. These cycles reflect the natural rhythms of existence, symbolizing how one phase must end for another to begin. For instance, the seasonal changes represent the cyclical nature of life; plants die in winter but are reborn in spring. Myths like the myth of Osiris in Egyptian culture exemplify death leading to renewal, emphasizing the belief in transformation after change, mirroring the existential human experience of mortality and regeneration.
