Mythological Studies is an academic field that explores myths, legends, and folklore from various cultures around the world. It examines the stories, characters, and themes that shape human understanding of existence, morality, and the natural world. Scholars analyze texts, artifacts, and oral traditions to uncover the meanings and functions of these narratives in society. This discipline often intersects with other fields such as anthropology, literature, and religious studies. By studying figures like Zeus, Thor, or Anansi, researchers gain insights into cultural values and beliefs. Mythological Studies helps us understand how these stories influence contemporary culture and human behavior.
