Significance (→ LINK: Cultural/semantic characteristics), based on divine origin, leads to long tradition and constant reworking
Long tradition leads to general cultural valence (beyond specific religious significance) and to further revisions
resulting in the existence of different variants of a mythical narrative (in different narrative variants) = polymorphy of myths
resulting in the combination of different layers of variants within one specific narrative variant = polystratic nature of myths
This causes significant challenges for the analysis and understanding of myths (LINK stratification analysis, challenge)
