Detailed explanation-1: -A myth is a classic or legendary story that usually focuses on a particular hero or event, and explains mysteries of nature, existence, or the universe with no true basis in fact.
Detailed explanation-2: -Myths, as traditionally defined, focus primarily on supernatural beings and the worlds they inhabit. Myths often depict supernatural beings as having human, animal and sometimes plant forms; storytellers and their audiences often regard such descriptions as symbolic rather than literal.
Detailed explanation-3: -Stories of the gods and goddesses and their adventures were told in myths. The Greeks did not believe that gods and goddesses were all-powerful. They did have special powers, but they were just as flawed as humans.
Detailed explanation-4: -The main characters in myths are usually non-humans, such as gods, demigods, and other supernatural figures. Others include humans, animals, or combinations in their classification of myth.
