Mythologies

Mythologies are collections of myths, which are traditional stories that explain how the world works, the origins of humans, gods, and natural phenomena. They often reflect the values, beliefs, and cultural practices of a society. These stories use allegory and symbolism to convey moral lessons, historical identity, or understanding of natural events, blending the spiritual and the empirical. Mythologies vary across cultures but serve as foundational narratives that shape cultural identity, influence art and literature, and offer insight into a society’s worldview and collective consciousness.
