What is the difference between mythos and logos?

Post by modding »

In my understanding, Mythos relates to giving meaning to the force or forces governing the universe and to life experiences as a result of being part of the universe and is typically expressed creatively through myth and the arts.

Logos means "word" and is used variously to refer to the second person of the Trinity, reason and thought and more along those lines. Mythos relates to the ineffable--that which really can't be described in words.
