Native terminology[edit]

Given that mythos and mythology were just Greek words for "making stuff up", do we have some cites for what the Greeks themselves collectively called these things? Hierologos or sth?

Was the Latin use similar or did mythi actually describe the stories they told about their gods? and was that usage respectful or disparaging? — $Llywelyn II$ 15:41, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

College assigned Article[edit]

Hello, I am assigned to add information about Classical Mythology to this Wiki article. I am not planning to erase any work that has been added but add relevant information about the subject. I also wanted to inform you that I am not 100% sure what I am doing but I will do my best nonetheless. So far I have collected some non-bias sources and information and also have a faint idea of what I want to add. Please feel free to reach out for questions, advice, and comfort. Thank you!Dylan66taylor (talk) 22:43, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
