Mythological texts

Mythological texts are ancient writings that recount the stories, beliefs, and practices of a culture's myths and legends. They often involve gods, heroes, and supernatural events that explain natural phenomena, cultural norms, and human experiences. These texts serve as a window into the values and worldviews of societies, illustrating their understanding of existence, morality, and the universe. Examples include Greek epics like the "Iliad" and "Odyssey," Hindu scriptures like the "Mahabharata," and various creation myths from around the world. They are studied in literature, history, and anthropology for their cultural significance and enduring influence.
