“A mythic image is the shape of anatomy speaking about itself.
The serpent of mythology is the spinal cord. [...] The cortex is the thousand-petaled lotus, the crown of thorns. This makes mythic image incapable of being a reality apart from somatic reality. Mythic image is the body speaking to itself about itself. Myths are scripts of our genetic shape in social language.”

(Keleman 1999, p.3)
