Mythology is the collection of traditional stories, beliefs, and symbols that societies use to explain the origin of the universe, nature, gods, heroes, and human life. These myths are not just imaginary tales—they reflect the values, fears, hopes, and worldview of the cultures that created them. Long before written history, mythology served as a way to understand the world and pass knowledge from one generation to the next.
