Ancient Myths and Modern Loneliness: Any Insights?

It’s fascinating how many ancient myths explore themes of community and isolation think of the Babylonian Epic of Gilgamesh or the Greek tale of Philoctetes. These stories often highlight the agony of exile or the transformative power of belonging. But today, despite being more connected than ever, loneliness seems to be a growing issue. Has anyone else noticed this paradox? Do you think these old narratives still hold wisdom for navigating our hyper-connected yet often isolating world? I’d love to hear your thoughts, especially if you’ve come across myths or traditions that feel particularly relevant today.
