Definition
Relating to myths or stories from ancient cultures, or having the qualities of a legend or something legendary and heroic.
Etymology
From Greek 'mythikos,' derived from 'mythos' meaning 'word' or 'story.' The term was used to describe narratives that explain cultural origins and feature gods or supernatural beings, and has come to mean anything with legendary or exaggerated qualities.
Kelly Says
Nearly every culture independently created similar mythic creatures—dragons, floods, and trickster figures appear in stories from China to Peru to Scandinavia, suggesting that the human mind naturally creates these archetypal stories to make sense of the world!
