Mythology

Mythology has gotten a bad reputation because of its outlandish and unbelievable imagery. But what appears to be its greatest weakness is actually its greatest strength. In the days before the existence of books and writing the only way to make sure something was remembered was to make use of memory aids. The simplest way to make something memorable was to make it outlandish.

Even numbers can be made memorable by associating each number with an element or an object. For example the 4th month becomes the month of trees.
