You need to be able to write the myth in your own words. Libraries are a more modern idea that was not around in the Greek times.
If you would like to go in that direction anyway, why not rewrite the story of Athena and Arachnid but instead of weaving tapestries, have them write stories using thread to each write a book on cloth, much like the old-fashioned samplers. The "books" would hang on the wall in olympus and tell their stories, like a sampler. This inspired mortals to write stories for themselves and use murals, and papyrus to write upon and share their books, becoming the first library.
No that is pretty irrelevant these days, sorry bro. <span />
The sentence from the introduction paragraph that serves as the author's thesis is: "<em>Yet key technological developments caused a rapid growth in American urban areas</em>."
A thesis statement is, by definition, the sentence that captures the main idea and your point of view on it on your article.
The sentence that I believe best represents what the author meant to present to the readers is one that briefly explains his view on the topic mentioned in the title, which is the positive effect of technological advancements on a city's growth.
