Many of
us are familiar with concepts such as luck and fate. These have
been accepted in society today, but many people fail to see
how these concepts are derived from mythology. For sure, mythology
did not fundamentally construct the various ideas, but what
they did very well was to give these concepts physical embodiments.
It is seen when people pray for luck today, or blame everything
on fate. These involve some imperceptible yet omnipresent force,
making them accessible to the imagination of society.

There are
two major ways in which these concepts were manifested in mythology.
The first way was in which the ideas took the idea of gods and
goddesses who held the ability to manipulate these ideas. The
second way was in having a god or goddess who was attributed to
the concept.
