The Fall of the Titans

The story of Titanic is so interesting. It is a story of the fall of the superior attitude of mankind, though those that died were not the ones to blame for the overall conceited community mind that ruled such events.
"Even God can not sink this ship!", now I know this is a line from the movie, and granted everything I'm writing is attributed to having just finished watching the movie, but this single line sums up the worldly mind set and godly feel of the people at this time.

In some ways it reminds me of the mythological tales we read about from forever ago: Odysseus fighting Polyphemus, Perseus fighting Medusa, etc. I mean think about it. Every unbelievable story we read must have originated from somewhere, right? Of course there are probably stories that had no real life base but considering the imagination the people possessed at that time due to the unexplainable phenomena and lack of understanding of basic science we all know today, it would make sense that they might embellish the tale of a local hero to fit the story the narrator wanted to tell.

I wonder how  they would tell the tale of Titanic if it happened way back when...
