参考答案：C

参考解析：

细节理解题。根据首段第二句“He suggested that the future citizens of his ideal republic begin their literary education with the telling of myths, rather than with mere facts or so-called rational teachings”和最后一句“The friend of wisdom is also a fiend of myth”可知，柏拉图认为人的文学教育应从神话开始，亚里士多德认为神话的朋友也是智慧的朋友，也就是说这两位哲学家均认为神话对于人的发展具有重要意义，故C项正确；首段没有说明神话的本质，A项错误；他们对于神话的观点一致，因此B项错误；D项文章没有提及。故选C。
