Mythology deals with the question of origin

Mythology, from the Greek "mythos" for "story, speech", refers to the entirety of the myths of a cultural area or a people, a region or a social group as well as their systematic presentation in literary, scientific or religious form.

Mythology also deals with the question of the origin of myths and their relationship to other narrative forms such as legend, legend or epic. Fairy tales in particular often contain elements of myths. The creation of myths is also the subject of psychology, especially the once modern ethnic psychology.
