MythologyBy Edith Hamilton
Translation: the ancients made up slightly naughty stories about powerful humanlike gods/goddesses to explain things like the change of seasons, sunrise, etc.
Pan-deism or pan-animism are terms which mean ancients believed that gods/goddesses existed in all facets of nature. That is, every rock, spring, tree had its own “life.”
Mythology is the study of primarily Greek and Roman myths, although every culture has their own mythology.Myths usually involve anthropomorphic personifications created to explain natural phenomena.

The word myth comes from the Greek word 'mythos' which means 'to tell a story'. Myths are very old stories which were passed on by the spoken word (before books were invented). Every culture has its own myths that are centuries old. Myths differ from folktales and legends.Myths are stories with a message. Groups of people (cultures) told myths to explain how life began and how the world of nature behaved.
