A myth is a fable or a legend that a set of people believe in regarding their gods or other devine persons. These beliefs may be the origin of the gods or the heroes connected with it. Broadly speaking, it is any invented story.
A myth is a tradional story used to illiustrate the way of life/ history of a people. it explains the existence of spiritual being and reason for social events etc. eg. christians believe that jesus died and rose from the dead, hence at easter the lengthen season is acknowleded to celebrate his resurrection.
I thought that a myth was a untrue tale that is pass down from generation,only to be told that myth is truth so powerful that it's not accepted by everyone.In order to draw my conclusion my definition of myth is,it is true but at times it may seems hard to believe.
myth is truthful, but figuratively so. It is not historical truth mixed with lies; it is a high philosophical teaching that is entirely true. on the condition that, instead of taking it literally, one sees in it an allegory.
Myth is the most essential belief of a religion that is told in a story format.It is used to guide people's way of life.Rituals are used to put the myth into action by means of religiuos ceremonies.
a myth is a way of thinking in pictures rather than abstract concepts. very few person today will believe that the story of Prometheus is a factual account of a great hero of the past, myths also may explain the power of certain religious functionaries.
