MYTHLOGY


For thousands of years people have associated objects in the sky and aspects of their physical world with the gods and goddesses of their cultures. And the word mythology comes from a body of legends to which some people may believe. There are gods and goddesses in mythology such as; Apollo, Callisto, Artemis, Gaea, Galatea, Zeus, Poseidion and so on…Apollo –for example- was the god of sun. He was known as the god who could foretell the future. He was also a musician and a healer. Zeus was the kig of earth and heaven and other gods. He was also know for his being god of justice. Myths are not the same as fables or legends but the concepts may suite. All in all in general, 20th century theories see myth as an outdated part of science and even as nothing.
