Tell us which myths you still believe, or used to believe. Let's correct them

Myths are traditional stories that societies create to explain the world, its origins, human nature, and the unknown. They typically involve gods, supernatural beings, heroes, or larger-than-life events, and they’re passed down orally (or later in writing) across generations. Key Characteristics of MythsExploratory purpose: They answer big questions like “How did the world begin?” “Why do we have seasons?” or “What happens after death?” Cultural reflection: Myths mirror the values, fears, and aspirations of the people who tell them. Symbolic, not literal: They’re not meant to be historical fact (though some contain kernels of real events). They use metaphor and symbolism. Fluid: Myths evolve over time and across cultures—similar stories appear worldwide with local twists.
