Notes to Teacher

You may wish to stick to a single defi nition of myth as it applies to

this domain—A myth is a fi ctional story from the ancient times that

tries to explain events or things in nature. A myth may also teach a

lesson. A myth usually has characters that are gods or goddesses,

humans, and creatures.
