About

Myth. A word that car­ries the weight of cen­turies, sus­pend­ed between mem­o­ry and imag­i­na­tion. It hums with the sto­ries long told, the sym­bols that linger in the spaces between know­ing and feel­ing. Myths endure not because they pro­vide cer­tain­ty, but because they invite con­tem­pla­tion, allow­ing the mind to wan­der where log­ic can­not fol­low, and the spir­it to grasp truths beyond words.

In this issue, our con­trib­u­tors explore the land­scape of myth with both rev­er­ence and cre­ativ­i­ty. Some engage with the time­less nar­ra­tives of antiq­ui­ty trac­ing pat­terns and arche­types that have shaped cul­ture across gen­er­a­tions. Oth­ers fol­low sub­tler, more per­son­al jour­neys, uncov­er­ing the con­tem­po­rary myths we inhab­it: the pri­vate sto­ries we live by, and the ideas that define and guide us today. Togeth­er, their work cre­ates a dia­logue that spans time and scope, hon­our­ing the past while reveal­ing the ever­chang­ing con­tours of myth in the present.

This issue also marks a heart­felt turn­ing point for OVERDUE. With our new logo, refreshed lay­out, and reimag­ined visu­al iden­ti­ty, we move for­ward with pur­pose and clar­i­ty. This redesign is not just a change in appear­ance; it is an evo­lu­tion. This qui­et trans­for­ma­tion mir­rors the spir­it of myth itself: the act of becom­ing, shed­ding what no longer serves, and step­ping into a form that feels truer to who we are.

To our extra­or­di­nary con­trib­u­tors: thank you. Your insight, courage, and artistry have giv­en form to the intan­gi­ble. Every page, image, and essay stands as a tes­ta­ment to myth’s res­o­nance and serves as a med­i­ta­tion on its pos­si­bil­i­ties. You have cre­at­ed a dia­logue that is both expan­sive and inti­mate, pre­cise and boundless.

To our remark­able mag­a­zine team: you ded­i­ca­tion, care, and vision are woven into every aspect of this issue. Your work shapes the magazine’s voice, rhythm, and spir­it. Thank you for infus­ing artistry, thought, and intent into every detail, and for sup­port­ing the evolv­ing heart of OVERDUE with grace, intel­li­gence, and courage.
