Where do MYTHS come from? By: Rebekah Smith Karson Stone Ethan Wier

Greek Mythology People have wondered about how they came to be and the world around them. So, to explain the things they didn’t understand, they started telling stories. Eventually these stories started evolving by people adding to them and they grew into myths. Most myths were created based on the creation of the world and the origins of the gods, folktales, as well as elaborate genealogies.

Roman Mythology Roman mythology is the traditional stories relating to ancient Rome’s legendary origins and religious system, as represented in a literature and visual arts of the Romans. Roman mythology is the combination of the beliefs, rituals, and the observations of huge natural events by the ancient Romans. From early periods until Christianity finally completely replaced the native religions of the Roman Empire.
