One category was named Fables and Mythology. The other was Myths and Folklore. We changed it so that Fables and Folklore were together, and Myths was combined into Mythology. It was to streamline the categories, and prevent further crossover.

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.
