I am sorry that you Nora require to use ancient terms to describe any human condition as there are plenty of modern more correct terms to replace them.
Mythology has always been useful to civilizations, and I see no reason why that should not still be the case. Indeed you could illustrate almost anything through mythology, parable, and so on. Even the nonexistence of a deity. Anything. It's silly to think that just because the vehicle for knowledge or wisdom is based on fiction that the message isn't valid or true. It seems to me like a kind of pigheaded conflation of one thing with another.
