Mythical narrative

A mythical narrative is a traditional story that explains the origins of the world, natural phenomena, or human experiences through the actions of gods, heroes, or supernatural beings. These stories are rooted in cultural beliefs and serve to convey moral lessons, values, or understanding of existence. Unlike historical accounts, myths often contain symbolic or allegorical elements and are considered sacred or foundational within a culture. They help communities make sense of their environment and identity, blending imagination with spiritual insight to preserve cultural heritage across generations.
