What’s mythology ? Have you heard some stories about those ancient times where Gods
communicate with other God and they created humans on the earth and so much on ? Well, today’s
topic is all about what is mythology and what does it meant exactly.
Mythology or myth is folk genre consisting of narrative stories that play a fundamental role in society.
The main characters in myths are usually Gods, demigods or supernatural human. ( This was taken
from wikipedia ).
In simple words according to my study about mythology is all about tales or stories which were
created by ancient folks which were so interesting to hear but nothing seems make sense in this
generation. Most of mythology is related to cultures, legends, religions, spirituality, customs and etc.
There are few mythology that became so famous and one of the famous well known is obviously
Greek mythology and Indian mythology. Their short stories and epic poetry stirs so much curiosity
among humans which even makes a very specific field of study in most of the university around the
world. Yes, there are undergraduate courses to study mythology in most of the Europe universities.
Classical studies is the second name of mythology. Literature, poetry, and most of classical related
studies all consist of mythology. What’s the benefits about studying mythology. For a start, studying
mythology makes the person to know deeper about the culture and lifestyle of the people. It also
helps the person to know more about the religion and how to outlook of the ancient people lives.
For examples, studying Indian mythology makes the person to know how Indian people beliefs came
from and how their lifestyles revolved in everyday life. Mythology is never boring for curiosity people
who wants to learn about other people’s culture, traditions and lifestyle. But for those who are not
interested in arts or classical learning then mythology is absolutely the worst boring subject to be ever
read.
Somehow everyone have their own curiosity in whatever interest them. As long classical studies never
disappear in this high technological world seems high concern since these younger generations never
really knows what’s ancients lifestyle nor knows how to live manually. As long reading is still living
everything else can be figure out. Happy reading.
