The Third Age of Myth?

What exactly does that even mean?
There was The First Age of Myth and The First Age of Legends, then The Second blah blah blah.

The Ages depend on the number and type of critters in the world, a large number of megabeasts and such (Which you usually start with) indicates the Age of Myth, as the number dwindles, the Age goes to Legends, then to Heroes. Presumably for the world to switch from Legends to Myth then more beasts would have to be produced (Possibly from FBs escaping the underworld and werewolves/vampires being made?)

Certain megabeasts, like Dragons, can mate. Therefore, in a situation where it drops below the Myth threshold, it can rarely go back up again, leading to a second or more age of myth.

I think it's the way towns develop now. In the beginning, people move into a town. Then they start producing tables, which results in more and more tables. Soon tables represent a significant portion of the population, they start lobbying for new laws and regulations, putting people to greater and greater disadvantage...
