Detailed explanation-1: -Myths are a part of every culture in the world and are used to explain natural phenomena, where a people came from and how their civilization developed, and why things happen as they do. At their most basic level, myths comfort by giving a sense of order and meaning to what can sometimes seem a chaotic world.
Detailed explanation-2: -A natural aetiological myth explains an aspect of nature. For example, you could explain lightning and thunder by saying that Zeus is angry. An etymological aetiological myth explains the origin of a word. (Etymology is the study of word origins.)
Detailed explanation-3: -Myths often relate the creation of the world and sometimes its future destruction as well. They tell how gods created men. They depict the relationships between various gods and between gods and men. They provide a moral code by which to live.
