Myths
Myths were created by many early civilizations. A myth is a narrative, usually involving the supernatural and explaining natural events. Myths may be thought of as stories that answer basic questions about the world of early people. For example, what questions are answered by the Biblical story of Adam and Eve? What about the story of Job? Another example from the Bible is the Tower of Babel. Educated people must know the myths our culture has inherited because they are imbedded in our literature, our language, and our traditions. They are among our common points of reference.
