I disagree with Derrick about the origin of myth or narrative being with writing. See Merlin Donald's stages going from the mimetic or gestural to language (the stuttering hand). This is what confers the ability to "tell your own story" (or any story). I like the idea of each god being a technology which fits nicely with my theory that each new technological environment created the conditions for a mimetic collapse and the resolution that allowed the community to unify was the collective murder of a god. Rene Girard never connects his theory of mimeticism and mimetic collapse with the emergence of new technologies so he's just noticing a pattern of effects and misconstruing the cause.
