Origins of Mythology Ancient mythology belongs to the oral tradition (folklore, legends, etc.) 1. stories passed orally appealed to the non-literate 2. these stories were a form of entertainment 3. the stories enabled the passing of history and culture from one group to the next

Archetypal Myth Symbols Many cultures share myth symbols. Some of these are: 1. The great flood or fire 2. The serpent 3. Things organized into 3, 7, or 12 4. The woman who brings evil into the world 5. The family “romance”

Greek Mythology 1. The Greeks were the earliest people to give their gods human forms 2. The Greeks also gave the gods human qualities and emotions 3. Greeks were able to determine proper behavior based on what would “anger the gods” or “please the gods.”
