The way of thinking and expression of myth is very close to that of poetry.
Speaking of myth, "the first impression we get is that it is closely related to poetry ... the mind of the creator of myth is the prototype;" And the poet's psychology ... is still the soul of the mythical age in essence' ". -Ernst Cassirer.
Mythical thinking can also be called poetic thinking. It perceives the world in a centralized, triggered, jumping and symbolic way, and has a kind of creativity out of nothing.
