[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 7859505, member: 58172"] In some ways, premodern cultures can be so different from modern cultures. Each culture across spacetime, has different assumptions and different concerns. It can be easier to relate to a modern story, because it tends to take into account the assumptions and concerns that we are familiar with. Premodern stories can take more effort to figure out how the story ‘makes sense’. Some of the assumptions underlying the story might seem alien to a modern audience. Premodern stories are interesting because they are records of different ways of being human. In some ways, each story is like a hologram. You can pick up a story and look thru it from different angles, and see the rest of the world of the story thru it, around it. The world that created a story can be very different from our world that we live in today. [/QUOTE]
