Myths generally do not have known authors. When mythology is transmitted by an oral tradition, it just becomes a kind of common knowledge, rather than the work of a specific author. However in the case of Greek mythology, some of it is attributed to an author named Homer. Even in this case, it is believed that the work of many different people was later attributed to Homer, who may or may not have been a real person.
