Mythological literature

Mythological literature comprises stories and texts that originate from ancient cultures, explaining origins, natural phenomena, gods, heroes, and cultural values through narrative. These stories often feature gods, supernatural beings, and legendary figures, serving to preserve tradition, convey moral lessons, and explore human experiences. Unlike historical accounts, myths use symbolic and allegorical language to address fundamental questions about existence and the universe. This body of literature provides insight into the beliefs, customs, and worldview of early societies, and continues to influence art, literature, and modern storytelling.
