Mythological Studies

Mythological Studies is the scholarly field that examines myths—traditional stories from various cultures—that explain natural phenomena, human behavior, and cultural values. It explores their origins, themes, and symbolism to understand how societies interpret the world and shape their identities. By analyzing stories from different times and places, researchers uncover shared human experiences and the ways myths influence art, religion, and culture. The field combines history, literature, anthropology, and psychology to provide deeper insight into the collective imagination and belief systems of diverse communities.
