The Mythology Portal

Mythology is the study of traditional or legendary stories. It is derived from the Greek word mythos (μῦθος), which simply means "story". Mythology can refer either to the study of myths, or to a body or collection of myths.[3] A myth also can be a made up story to explain why something exists.[1]
