I love the myth about (was it) Hercules who had to kill the minotaur in a maze in Crete.
Everyone else who entered got lost in the maze and never returned.
Hercules, of course, used some string to navigate the maze, killed the minotaur and followed the string back!

Why couldn't they say, hey stupid, there's no GPS signal, you must use a bit of string so you won't get lost. Why did they have to include fantasy to pass on a simple message.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
