Answer:

The Greek myths helped to end the 'Greek Dark Age' by restoring the literacy that was lost in this era and creation of a new alphabet system.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Greek Dark Age was a period in Greece when Greeks were ruled by Dorian. During those times, people lived scattered rather than in cities, thue making easy for Dorian to rule over them.

The term 'Dark Age' is used to describe an era about which little is known. Greek Dark Age was a period between 1100 BC to 800 BC during which people were nowhere near tto knowledge of arts or literature because people were mostly engaged in wars. Thus they did not have the time to write about anything.

By the end of 800 BC, the Mycenaean Linear B script was abandoned and new Greek Alphabet script was developed. This adoption of new alphabet system led to the recovery of literacy which was lost in the Greek Dark Ages. During these time new set of culture of Greek myths took place and led Greeks into a new era of Archaic Period.
