Are myths true

Answer 1

The best answer here is, could be. A myth is a story that someone constructed to explain something. It is an attempt at reduction. Reduction in the sense of physics and language is an attempt to give the shortest, simplest answer or explanation to the broadest number of things. In common parlance, the term "myth" is used to refer to a false story or fictional account. It is interchanged with the terms "legend" and "folktale." This is inaccurate. A myth is simply a story. It may or may not be true. It may or may not have a basis or be rooted in fact.

The word actually comes from Greek. MÅ·thos literally means story. Academically speaking, the truth or veracity of a mtyh is not questioned. It just is, that is it exists.
