I believe so. Through their stories, they can influence public opinion, change perspectives, and even drive social movements. In this sense, they have a kind of ruling power over the minds and hearts of people.
It basically means that the people who have the power to shape and convey narratives have significant influence over others and can shape the way the world is perceived and understood.
Not necessarily. Telling a story is one thing, but actually having the means and authority to rule the world is an entirely different thing. It's not as simple as just having a good story.
I'm not sure who said it exactly. But it probably means that those who have the ability to convey compelling stories have a significant influence on people's thoughts and actions.
The Hopi proverb means that the storytellers have a major impact. They can inspire, educate, and guide, essentially ruling over the way we think and view things. It's a recognition of the power of words and imagination.
Plato likely meant that those who have the ability to shape and convey narratives have significant influence over people's thoughts and actions, thereby having power in society.
