There is more to mythology than many people have come to believe. A few weeks ago I was someone who saw mythology as a way ancient civilizations explained the world around them as well as means of teaching morals. My new definition of mythology isn't much different from before, just that myths include religious, moral, and personal stories that cannot be proven true. One of those stories might be the story of Hercules who was punished by Hera to complete several tasks after he had killed his family in one of his violent rages. Another could be of Cronus who feared one of his children would kill him so he ate all his children but without his knowledge one, Zeus, escaped then later returned to free his siblings from his father's stomach and then, with their help as well as several other beings, defeated Cronus. Mythology is not simply entertaining stories because besides stories being interesting, many teach lessons. Mythology is a vast subject containing many parts, you need to see it from every angle.
