Mythology tells the stories of gods, heroes, humans and supernatural beings as the personification of natural phenomena and more importantly the human condition. In traditional folklore, a myth tells a story that is designed to explain certain ideals, practices and behaviors within society. Following from his interest in superheroes and comic book narratives, Meggs delves deeper into the subject of fantasy to explore characters and stories from older mythological tales through the morals, dualitites and emotions that these superhuman characters represent.

Fusing elements of contemporary superheroes to ancient mythological beings, "Truth in Myth" is a collection of new paintings, collage, sculpture and mixed media artworks that expressively reference classic renaissance composition and contemporary pop culture. The layered and detaild works of "Truth in Myth" serve as a continuation of the artist's search for balance in the understanding of physical and ideological duality of self.
