SINOPSIS
This book contains a selection of myths from all around the world. Myths are wonderful tales where gods, humans, and supernatural beings share the limelight.
Since myths are stories that have been told for many centuries, it is difficult to trace their origins and many people believe that they are not true. Still many myths probably originated from historic events that were told to later generations and embellished over time. Whether actually true or not, all myths have great symbolic value.
Myths are a part of every culture in the world and are used to explain natural phenomena, where a people came from and how their civilization developed, and why things happen as they do. At their most basic level, myths comfort by giving a sense of order and meaning to what can sometimes seem a chaotic world.
Some myths may make you happy and smile, while others may make you sad. Some may make you wonder about their deeper meaning, while others can make you giggle.
But whatever the myth, none of them will fail to leave an impression on you. I hope the myths in this book will convince you of that.
