mythical figures
“Mythical figures live many lives, die many deaths, and in this they differ from the characters we find in novels, who can never go beyond the single gesture. But in each of these lives and deaths all the others are present, and we can hear their echo. Only when we become aware of a sudden consistency between incompatibles can we say we have crossed the threshold of myth.” – Robert Calasso, The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony
stories
“Stories never live alone; they are boundaries of a family that we have to trace back, and forward.” – Robert Calasso, The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony
