The Basque mythology is not part of the Spanish mythology, es completly different and more related in lots of things to the french than to the Iberian one. Please, do not mix the Iberian mythology with the basque one, the basque one is independent of the iberian and remember that part of the basque country is in france and that ethnically are a different group from the iberian, catalans, gallicians and others.


Reply: Basque Mythology is Spanish as Spanish refers to Hispanic/Iberian Peninsula, and Basques are indeed in the Iberian Peninsula. And what you refer as "French" is not actually French, but Aquitanian, these people Julius Caesar related to the Iberians as opposed to Gauls.

Reply2: GEOGRAPHICALLY, the Basque country is in the Iberian region, but ETHNICALLY and LINGUISICALLY, the Basque country is completely different from Spain and other Iberian states. Compare to northern Africa: places like Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt are indeed African, but have more of a Middle Eastern look and practice. These people in the north of Africa are not black ETHNICALLY and LINGUISTICALLY, but GEOGRAPHICALLY they are African. So it is wrong when the term "African American" is used to describe only blacks, but this is a different argument than what we are supposed to be discussing now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.211.214.251 (talk) 17:14, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
