Mythical geography

Mythical geography refers to the imaginative creation of fictional places, landscapes, or worlds found in myths, legends, and literary works. These fictional geographies often serve symbolic or storytelling purposes, representing ideas, spiritual realms, or cultural values. For example, Atlantis is a famous mythical island, and Middle-earth appears in Tolkien's writings. Unlike real-world geography, mythical geography isn't constrained by physical laws or factual accuracy; instead, it reflects the cultural imagination and storytelling traditions of various societies. This concept explores how human cultures invent and visualize worlds beyond the observable realities, enriching storytelling and cultural identity.
