1 Name About Myths A myth is a dramatic story, often including extraordinary beings or creatures with superhuman powers, that is widely known and often repeated within a culture. Myths can have the following purposes: To explain how life began, how the world works (nature), or what happens after death. To instruct: myths confirm and reinforce the institutions, beliefs, and customs of the society that tells them. They teach people the attitudes and behavior needed to function successfully within their culture. For example, a myth might highlight the importance of honoring one s parents or elders. Myths are universal because they deal with mysteries, passions and longings that all people feel. Knowing myths is important because many literary works as well as movies, TV shows, etc. make allusions to Greek mythology.
