mitología (mythology)

Mythología, or mythology, is the study of traditional stories and beliefs that cultures create to explain natural phenomena, human origins, and life's mysteries. These stories often involve gods, heroes, and supernatural beings, serving to convey moral lessons, cultural values, and historical identity. Mythology helps us understand how different societies interpret the world and their place in it, preserving collective memory and inspiring art, literature, and religious practices. While rooted in ancient belief systems, mythology continues to influence modern culture, offering insights into human psychology and cultural diversity.
