Antimythic

/ˌæntiːˈmɪθɪk/ adjective

Definition

Opposed to, rejecting, or undermining mythology and mythological thinking or interpretation.

Etymology

From anti- (against) + mythic (relating to myth, from Greek mythos meaning 'word,' 'story,' or 'narrative'). The -ic suffix forms adjectives from nouns.

Kelly Says

Modern antimythic thinking tries to strip myths down to 'what really happened,' but anthropologists now understand that myths aren't failed history—they're how humans encode values, fears, and wisdom that can't be captured in literal facts.
