From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. The term mythology can refer to either the study of myths or a body of myths. For example, comparative mythology is the study of connections between myths from different cultures, whereas Greek mythology is the body of myths from ancient Greece. The term "myth" is often used colloquially to refer to a false story; however, the academic use of the term generally does not refer to truth or falsity. In the study of folklore, a myth is a sacred narrative explaining how the world and humankind came to be in their present form. Many scholars in other fields use the term "myth" in somewhat different ways. In a very broad sense, the word can refer to any traditional story. Nature of mythsTypical characteristicsThe main characters in myths are usually gods or supernatural heroes. As sacred stories, myths are often endorsed by rulers and priests and closely linked to religion. In the society in which it is told, a myth is usually regarded as a true account of the remote past. In fact, many societies have two categories of traditional narrative—(1) "true stories", or myths, and (2) "false stories", or fables. Myths generally take place in a primordial age, when the world had not yet achieved its current form. They explain how the world gained its current form and how customs, institutions, and taboos were established. From Wikipedia under the

Asked by annie - Sat Mar 7 17:51:03 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. -High school track teams often have an image of a winged sandal on their sweatshirts and other stuff. This comes from Hermes, the Messenger God who was also god of athletics. -The caduceus is the staff with the snake entwined around it, another symbol of Hermes. -The phrase, "to sacrifice a pig to Aphrodite" means to give an inappropriate gift. -If someone refers to an Achilles' heel, then they are referring to a weakness. Comes from the myth of Achilles, he was dipped into the River Styx as an infant to become invincible, but his heel did not touch the water. He died during the Trojan War when an arrow pierced his foot. These are just the first few that popped into my head. If I think of any others, I'll come back.
