Category: Mythology

Mythology refers to a collection of myths, which are traditional stories that a particular culture or religion uses to explain natural phenomena, human behavior, and the origins of the world and humanity. These stories often involve gods, goddesses, heroes, and supernatural beings, and they serve to convey moral lessons, cultural values, and historical narratives. Mythology is integral to understanding the beliefs and practices of a society, as it reflects the worldview and existential questions of the people within that culture. Myths can vary widely between different cultures and often include common themes like creation, life, death, and the struggle between good and evil. They are passed down through generations and can be found in literature, art, and oral traditions.
