I think they are important. And yes, I agree with the idea that they teach us something about or ourselves, and even grasp reality instinctively.

It may not be scientifically accurate, but there is always some "instinct" involved in these myths that grasp some truth of reality.

This reminds me of Tesla, who said that instinct was extremely important in thought, for it can guide us in the direction of truth. It is quite an interesting attribute.
