The word myth comes from the Greek word 'mythos' which means 'to tell a story'. Myths are very old
stories which were passed on by the spoken word (before books were invented). Every culture has its
own myths that are centuries old. Myths differ from folktales and legends.

and how the world of nature behaved.

The myth depicts characters most often superhuman who have supernatural powers but also human behavior and feelings. Myth is a word, which refers to the ancient event full of meaning: in primitive societies, it serves as an explanation of the world, how things started and why men are here today. He is considered true. In the composition, it's often short and of a perfect arrangement. Every details is loaded with meaning. Scientific thought has failed to make them disappear.
