Myths Myths Myths

All the myths in the book sporadically relate to the plot.  Such as The Place Inside the Blizzard (ch. 2), this myth talks about two brothers that vowed kemmering to each other. Hode committed suicide which is a BIG NO-NO for the Gethenian culture, the other brother Gethren was banished.  Both of the brothers later reunited at the place inside the blizzard in the planet of Gethen.  In Chapter 4, The Nineteeth Day Lord Brestory rem ir Ipe went to Thangering Fastness and offered forty beryls and half the years yield from his orchards as the price of a Foretelling. Then later Lord Brestory rem ir Ipe asked the foretellers when he will die. Although all the myths in the book relate to the plot you can surly tell how these myths are all really important to the Gethenian society because in ch.15 Gethly and Estraven go to cross the Karhide glaciers and then Genley brings up the The Place Inside the Blizzard myth.
