It was in the fifth century where much of the Greek mythology was being replaced by rational thinking as in Euripides story of Creusa where he says to his audience, "Look at your Apollo, the sun-bright Lord of the Lyre, the pure God of Truth.
Edith Hamilton makes no pretenses that this is all there is to say on mythology, but she gives a reader a fine start.

Poland is situated between West and East in terms of religious and cultural tradition (Roman Catholicism and Orthodoxy, Christianity and Islam, Latin and Cyrillic script).
The myth was created with symbolic elements taken from the nineteenth century traditions of the building of national and European identity of Poles.
Polish literature of the nineteenth century is perhaps the most central element of the national heritage and the vehicle of national mythology.

I read something about the meaning of the word Nyia, that it's the name of a god in Polish mythology.
Nyia is an old Pagan demon, often called the deity of Poles, or Polans (an old Pagan tribe from which Poles evolved).
I never heard of anything about Polish mythology before, so can you explain what this is about?

 Workers World Oct. 9, 2003: Polish workers fight massive job cuts
This mythology was built up through the 1980s with the promotion of the misnamed Solidarity union movement.
Twenty-two years ago it was the center of world attention as U.S. imperialism, the Roman Catholic Church and homegrown reactionaries concentrated their efforts on undermining what was left of socialism there.
But there's a lot going on in Poland: stuff the U.S. ruling class doesn't want workers here to know, because it undermines their mythology that Polish workers are much better off under capitalism than under the workers' state that existed from the end of World War II until the early 1990s.

 O.F.C.S.: The Online Film Critics Society
Still, they do need to communicate, so their separateness, their individual identities, are implicit in the whispering, too.
Other aspects of the story introduce the context of Christian mythology, but Polish doesn't force the issue, satisfied to put into the mix an awareness of the values that are part of the Christian ethic and, as often as not, honored in the breach.
The whispering underlines both the need for agreement between them at times when they might need to make a decision about what to do (or not to do) next, as well as the facility of communication and mutual consideration they have developed to cope with their interdependence.

 Sydney Art Theatre
Wesele (1901; "The Wedding") was a visionary parable of Poland's past, present, and problematical future, cast in the form of the traditional puppet-theatre play.
His principal contribution to Polish literature lay in the structure of his longer lyrical poems; those in the volume Ginacemu swiatu (1901; "To a Dying World") employed a technique of association, quotation, musical repetition, and free metre that anticipated the early style of such poets as T.S. Eliot.
In his plays he reforged elements from classical tragedy and mythology, Polish Romantic drama, and national history in a complex whole.

 Krakow News Napoleon And The Poles
His Polish troops were amongst the most distinguished in the Grande Armee, and over a hundred thousand of them perished fighting for the cause.
Quotes such as this, not to mention Bonaparte's liason with a vivacious young Polish Countess, Marie Walewska (a portait of whom is exhibited here) have all entered into Polish mythology.
This utterly abstract quest, which saw the loss of several thousand Polish lives, (and saw many Poles eventually joining the anti-imperial black cause) became something of a symbol for the way in which the Poles were exploited by their 'liberating' Emperor.

 Dziewona
However, all her names that derive from Slavic language translate to "The Maiden." She equates to the goddess Diana in name and function.
In Slavic and Polish mythology, Dziewona (or Zewana) is the equivalent of Diana, whose name is said to appear very late in Slavic history.
She is the Polish virginal Goddess who is the huntress of the forest, and is associated with the Moon, spring, agriculture and weather.

 Morozova
These alterity myths became a significant part of Russian and Polish national mythology.
I will show how the marginalization phase, the phase when the dissidents found themselves “betwixt and between all points of classification,” engendered a number of metaphors and allegories, through which the dissidents reflected on the social and political turmoil.
In the case of Russian and Polish dissidents, the myth of the Caucasian “Savage” allowed Russian and Polish authors to rationalize the conflicts and the changes taking place in their relationship to their societies and the Russian state.
