the myth
A myth is a traditional story or narrative that explains natural phenomena, customs, beliefs, or events, often involving gods, heroes, or supernatural beings. Myths serve to convey moral lessons or cultural values within a society. They can reveal what a culture finds important or how it interprets the world around it. While myths are not scientifically or historically verified, they play a significant role in shaping identities and understanding human experiences, often serving as a bridge between the past and contemporary life.
