What is a Myth?
A Myth is a kind of oral narrative that explains matters that concern the beliefs, certain phenomena in human life, or why things are the way they are. It gives truthful accounts of events that happened in the past.
Myth, therefore, provides an explanation for different natural things in life. For instance, why do we have day and night, why do men not bear children like women? Why are there stars in the sky?
