Hercules became a myth . If the Circus of today were to be transformed by myth into a place where gladiators fought beasts to the death then a Myth can become a man. All of humanity can become a myth to future lifeforms. It would be considered a myth the humans grew crops,bred,horses,cattle, made gentetically modified foods, drove cars which ran on oil. Either that or a conspiracy theory if evidence that preceding liforms existed came to light. All wars fought from Bronze Age to Atomic Age would be considered Myths. People would say There has never been a Bronze Age with Humans there is no such thing as a Human, There has never been an Atomic Age before Science has never existed. Would have new term for Science then say ''Of course we know there is no such thing as science''. If Genocide occured against even while we existed is possible comments about Grassy Knolls and Black Helicopters,Suicide Cults would be made. Anyone with evidence no matter how solid would be dismissed as a Conspiracy Theorist.

Yes, if the man can live up to the myth. he's a myth as long as he lives, however when he dies, he is no longer a myth, because myths can exist for ever. Man can't however as long as the man is alive, he can be the myth, because there is no telling whether he is going to die or not.
so yes a myth can become a man, but most likely not for ever.

A man could attempt to emulate a myth. But it is more likely that a Man or his deeds can become a myth than the other way around.

It only works in the other direction. Read Dr. Joseph Campbell's works on myth to get a broader understanding of why.

NO
Because a Myth is an opinion.
A man is physical.

There was only one time when that happened, when he fulfilled over 4, 000 years of prophecy. No one has since done that as he had.

Nice going, Gumby. This one takes its place beside such memorables as:
Does a bear **** in the woods?
Is the Pope Catholic?
