Discourses on an Alien Sky #41 | The Labyrinth and the Gordian Knot

In this Discourse David Talbott extends his review of the ancient “labyrinth” theme, suggesting that a concrete explanation could lie within our reach: “It should go without saying that, in the absence of a concrete referent, such storytelling will appear to have no believable interpretation. But if we tentatively grant the presence of a natural provocation in the ancient sky, the story elements will be EXPECTED, even when a self-serving local variant fails to convince us.”
