Truth, like a thread spun by the Fates in Greek mythology, is both unyielding and inescapable. Prometheus, punished for giving fire (and enlightenment) to humanity, reminds us that truth often brings suffering, not comfort. Oedipus sought truth, only to find it unravel his identity and destiny. In myth, truth is a double edged sword offering clarity but demanding a heavy toll.
