The "Mythological Cycle" refers to a series of interconnected myths and stories that explain the origins, adventures, and relationships of gods, heroes, and mythical creatures within a particular culture. These cycles often include themes of creation, destruction, and rebirth, reflecting the values and beliefs of the society. For example, in Greek mythology, the cycle includes tales of gods like Zeus and heroes such as Hercules.
In many cultures, the mythological cycle serves to convey moral lessons and cultural identity. It often features recurring motifs, such as the struggle between good and evil, and the journey of a hero. In Norse mythology, the cycle includes stories of gods like Odin and the eventual destruction of the world during Ragnarok.
