do humans need hero myths in their life to stay mentally healthy and to avoid depression and other illnesses?

It certainly helps if you aren't mentally strong by yourself. Heroes offer a narrative to understand the world, derive moral systems and achieve group cohesion.

Yes. Myths and literature are the most effective method we know of for delivering extremely complex concepts. They utilize the framing nature of narratives to package lots of hard-won ideas in a way that even plan history doesn't usually accomplish. When you really think about it, it's mind boggling how much a completely uneducated person can understand and retain the jist of a good story. The failure to meet this need is probably a major corrupting factor in our societies today. I don't think a lack of these clear, concise, uplifting stories would necessarily ruin individuals nearly as much as it would ruin a society.

Gilgamesh was real. The Elohim and Nephilim were actual beings. They currently reside underground.

Humans actually need their true origin and fate to be shrouded in myth so they aren't able to break out of the soul harvesting system they were imprisoned in. Without myth we would be able to transmute our bodied and minds out of the system, This would be a huge problem for soul harvesters so the easiest way to mitigate this risk is through artificial foundation myths implanted into recorded history by elite bloodlines who work for the harvesters in exchange for Earthly power and wealth.

What you're asking can be answered by using concepts studied by both anthropology and psychology.
However, /sci/ as a community doesn't consider those subjects scientific enough. Please abstain from posting here ever again.

Yes, everybody needs role models, and it is very hard to find a role model in a real person, unless you want to create a mentally ill soci... oh wait

Humans don't "need" heroes. Yet they are a decent reminder of how one can overcome adversity.

Humans are social animals where only a small percentage has the traits to become leaders. Others are there to follow and need authority figures. That is why most people seek heroes - in political leaders, in myths, in gods.

Are you drunk?

If we have anything in abundance, it's stories.

Fucking movies, tv shows, books, comics, operas, theatre ... I don't think any society in history had more myths to chose from.
