Fables and Folklore are made up stories, from imagination really, While a myth, and mythology, is more complicated. A Myth starts at the beginning of a new civilization, and when the people don't know how anything works, they start a myth. A myth is a story that people tell to explain how things work. Before science came along, people thought that gods made every thing happen, Like a thunder storm starts when Zeus got mad, or that the world gets cold for half a year because Demeter looses her daughter to Hades for half of the year. So in simpler words. Folklore and Fables are stories made up for fun, and a Myth is a story that explains how the world works. I hope i helped.
