MAZIAH KIRIKU THE SAVIOUR !! STORY OF THE ANCIENT ONE (BLACKNEWS101) ENGLISH MAZIAH KIRIKOU THE SAVIOUR !! STORY OF THE ANCIENT ONE (BLACKNEWS101) Mythology can refer to the collected myths of a group of people—their collection of stories they tell to explain nature, history, and customs[1]—or to the study of such myths.[2] As a collection of such explanatory stories, mythology is a vital feature of every culture. Many sources for myths have been proposed, ranging from personification of nature or personification of natural phenomena, to truthful or hyperbolic accounts of historical events to explanations of existing rituals. Although the term is complicated by its implicit condescension, mythologizing is not just an ancient or primitive practice, as shown by contemporary mythopoeia such as urban legends and the expansive fictional mythoi created by fantasy novels and comics. A culture's collective mythology helps convey belonging, shared and religious experiences, behavioral models, and moral and practical lessons. The study of myth dates back to ancient history. Rival classes of the Greek myths by Euhemerus, Plato, and Sallustius were developed by the Neoplatonists and later revived by Renaissance mythographers. The nineteenth-century comparative mythology reinterpreted myth as a primitive and failed counterpart of science (E. B. Tylor), a "disease of language" (Max Müller), or a misinterpretation of magical ritual (James Frazer). Recent approaches have rejected conflict between the value of myth and rational thought, often viewing myths as expressions for understanding general psychological, cultural, or societal truths, rather than being merely inaccurate historical account 5.3 Twentieth-century theories 5.4 Comparative mythology 6 Modern mythology YOUTUBE, GOOGLE 9 Journals about mythology Etymology[edit] Mythology Arabian · Armenian · Celtic · Christian · Chinese · Egyptian · Greek · Guarani · Hindu · Islamic · Japanese · Jewish · Korean · Maya · Mesopotamian · Micronesian · Norse · Persian · Polynesian · Roman · Romanian · Slavic · The English term mythology predates the word myth by centuries.[5] It first appeared in the fifteenth-century,[7] borrowed from the Middle French term mythologie. The word mythology, ("exposition of myths"), comes from Middle French mythologie, from Late Latin mythologia, from Greek μυθολογία mythologia ("legendary lore, a telling of mythic legends; a legend, story, tale") from μῦθος mythos ("myth") and -λογία -logia ("study").[8][9] Both terms translated the subject of Latin author Fulgentius' fifth-century Mythologiæ, which was concerned with the explication of Greek and Roman stories about their gods, commonly referred to as classical mythology. Although Fulgentius' conflation with the contemporary African Saint Fulgentius is now questioned,[10] the Mythologiæ explicitly treated its subject matter as allegories requiring interpretation and not as true events.[11] (The word mythología [μυθολογία] appears in Plato, but was used as a general term for "fiction" or "story-telling" of any kind,[9] combining mỹthos [μῦθος, "narrative, fiction"] and -logía [-λογία, "discourse, able to speak about"].[12]) From Lydgate until the seventeenth or eighteenth-century, mythology was similarly used to mean a moral, fable, allegory, or a parable.[9] From its earliest use in reference to a collection of traditional stories or beliefs,[14] mythology implied the falsehood of the stories being described. Although, with its remaining association with sacred tales of the Greeks and Romans, it came to be applied by analogy with similar bodies of traditional stories among other polytheistic cultures around the world.[9] Ballads of bravery (1877) part of Arthurian mythology. In present use, mythology usually refers to the collected myths of a group of people, but may also mean the study of such myths.[2] For example, Greek mythology, Roman mythology, and Hittite mythology all describe the body of myths retold among those cultures. However, landscape mythology describes the study of landscape used across various peoples with ties to totemism. Alan Dundes defined myth as a sacred narrative, which explains how the world and humanity evolved into their present for.,Dundes classified a sacred narrative as "a story that serves to define the fundamental worldview of a culture by explaining aspects of the natural world and delineating the psychological and social practices and ideals of a societ.y;[22] Bruce Lincoln defined myth as "ideology in narrative form."[23] Many scholars in other fields use the term myth in somewhat different ways;[24][25][26] in a very broad sense, the word can refer to any traditional story,[27] popular misconception, or imaginary entity.[28] Due to this pejorative sense, some scholars opt to return to the earlier term Category Entertainment
