Introduction to Mythology

What is a MYTH? A traditional story involving supernatural beings or events that was passed down orally between generations. While a myth may seem similar to a fairy tale, a myth has profound meaning so it is not just a trivial tale.

Why were MYTHS created? Myths were created to orally explain the natural wonders of the world before science could provide answers. Myths attempt to explain complex topics such as: Agriculture Seasons Hunting Fertility Death

Myths were passed on orally throughout the generations.... What are the problem associated with oral traditions?

Types of MYTHS There are many types of myths, not just Greek and Roman. Many cultures have created their own mythological tales to explain their history, origins, heroes etc. For example: China Africa Ireland North America Australia Japan And many more...

What is the difference between Greek and Roman MYTHS? Greek mythology was created before Roman, therefore many Roman gods have been borrowed from the Greek myths. Both Greek and Roman myths feature similar gods and goddesses, they simply have different names. For example: The Greek god named ‘Zeus’ is called ‘Jupiter’ in Roman mythology.

Why is it important to study MYTHS? Mythology is constantly referred to in today’s society (allusions), or used as symbolism. Primarily through: Language Advertising Pop Culture

Mythological Language References “Museum”- originates from the Greek term “mouseion” meaning “seat of the muses” In mythology the ‘muses’ are Zeus’ 9 daughters “Janitor”- originates from the Roman term “janus” meaning “god of gates, doors and passages”

Mythological Advertising References “Midas Mufflers”- Midas is the Greek god who has the ability to turn anything he touches into gold. “Nike Shoes”- In Greek mythology Nike is the winged goddess of victory. “Venus Razor Blades” Named after the Roman goddess of love, beauty and fertility.

Mythology in Popular Culture Apollo 13- 1995 space movie Name refers to the Greek god of the sun. The Little Mermaid- “King Triton” is an indirect reference to the Greek god “Triton”, Poseidon’s son, the first merman. Harry Potter- “Minerva”, head of Gryphendor, is based off the Roman god of wisdom.

While studying mythology... We will be focusing on: The Creation Myths The Monomyth (The hero’s journey) And using active listening and reading strategies that include: Anecdotal notes, skimming/ scanning, making inferences, summarizing, questioning etc.
