Myths are stories that are based on tradition. Some may have factual origins, while others are completely fictional. But myths are more than mere stories and they serve a more profound purpose in ancient and modern cultures. Myths are sacred tales that explain the world and man's experience.

What is the purpose of a myth?

People created myths thousands of years ago to tell how the world and things in it came to be. Myths also help to explain how people act or why things exist.

What is a myth that explains something?

An origin myth is something that cultures use to explain natural or social events in mythological terms. An example of this is the creation of the world through the tearing apart of a giant.

What is classified as a myth?

A usually traditional story of ostensibly historical events that serves to unfold part of the world view of a people or explain a practice, belief, or natural phenomenon.

What does a myth contain?

While all myths are different, myths as such attempt to explain everyday phenomena. They typically involve gods or deities with supernatural powers, may or may not contain a hero or someone on a quest, and were passed down through oral tradition.

Is a myth a lie or truth?

The Oxford English Dictionary defines myth as a synonym for "untruth", "falsehood", or "lie". But the word has a long history and an equally long range of meanings.
