Mythology

Mythology refers to the collection of myths—the traditional stories that belong to a particular cultural or religious tradition. These narratives often explain natural phenomena, the origins of humanity, and the customs and beliefs of a society. Mythologies typically involve deities, supernatural beings, and legendary heroes, and they serve various purposes, such as moral instruction, entertainment, or the explanation of the universe’s mysteries. Each culture has its own mythology, which can encompass creation myths, eschatology, and tales about the gods and their interactions with humans. Myths are often passed down through oral traditions, literature, and art, playing a crucial role in shaping cultural identity and values.
