Mythology is a collection of stories a culture made up long ago to explain
confusing things around them. Before there were studies of physical,
emotional, and spiritual parts of our world, made-up stories were the best
people could do.

We study
mythology because every culture has them, they teach us history, and they are
interesting! Myths are all around us including such things as literature,
