Is the sun mythic?

[Senko]

I need to wear sunscreen for work and it got me thinking. Pathfinder doesn't have things like skin cancer but it does have the mythic ability to be immune to poisons and diseases that aren't from mythic sources. The sun plays a major role in lots of myths and legends and there are other "mythical" natural places. So what do people think can a natural place that plays a role in mythology count as a mythical source

I would think it is simultaneously mythic, mundane, and divine.

[the Queen's Raven]

What about the Moon? That definetly plays into mythology and not just lycanthropes.

The Sun is mythic. Sunlight is not.

To torture the metaphor, the photons that come from the sun are like an arrow shot by a mythic character, but once they hit the atmosphere they are absorbed/re-emitted and become like an arrow that was shot by a mythic archer, then picked up and re-shot by a peasant.

And that's already too much thought put into this, so I'm trundling off.

The sun is entirely mundane.

Epic and grandiose in scale an awe? Absolutely. But mundane in source, nevertheless.

[Uwotm8]

I'm not so sure. Iirc, I believe stars are described in one spot as rifts that lead to the plane of fire in their core. That's basically a huge, persistent gate or some kind of controlled planar tear. I have a hard time seeing that as mundane. Plus, I know several deities interact with stars and some are described as stars. That said, Golarion's star does have colonies on and inside it so it, itself, is likely not a creature.

Aucturn, the Stranger is a creature that is also a planet with things living on it.

That link says "Others postulate the planet is actually a vast living being in stasis", as if it was a rumor, but not confirmed.

The Golarion sun rules don't say anything about being mythic, and thus it is not mythic.

[DominusMegadeus]

insert Iron Heart Surge joke.

The Golarion sun "rules," such as they are, were published before Mythic was even in development, let alone published -- so that can't be a reason the sun isn't Mythic.

[Cerberus Seven]

Desna created the stars in the sky, each one serving as a both a sun for that system and a portal to the positive energy plane. If divine is to mythic as mythic is to mundane, it would seem the sun should be considered mythic, at minimum.

The entry in Distant Worlds is a bit more solid. The ground is creepy cyclopean flesh. Though I suppose whether or not it counts as "alive" and the cryptobiological geometry of the many-angled ones of the Darkest Voids is a dubious and portentious prospect.

Sure it is, otherwise you could say anything before mythic is now mythic, like the common goblin.
