| | Kerygma and Myth |
 | | That mythology is essentially the outcome of a revolt, the revolt of the "vital gods", or, to quote idealism, the revolt of "the wisdom of the world". | | | Whenever mythology is translated into scientific and rational terms there is an inevitable loss of meaning and consequent superficiality, which shows the inadequacy of the scientific approach to this kind of truth. | | | Mythology would then be that form of human apprehension which is peculiarly fitted to deal with religious truth. |

| | Greek mythology: Information From Answers.com |
| | Our surviving sources of mythology are literary reworkings of this oral tradition, supplemented by interpretations of iconic imagery, sometimes modern ones, sometimes ancient ones, as myth was a means for later Greeks themselves to throw light on cult practices and traditions that were no longer explicable. | | | To the Greeks, mythology was literally a part of their history; few ever doubted that there was truth behind the account of the Trojan War in the Iliad and Odyssey. | | | While all cultures throughout the world have their own mythologies, the term is a Greek coinage, and had a specialized meaning within Greek culture. |

| | Contemporary mythology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Contemporary mythology, also called contemporary parable, is a recently developed term to describe modern stories which resemble, either in content or in cultural significance, traditional mythology such as Greek Mythology or religious stories. | | | In the same way that ancient mythology provided explanations of the world and its origins, contemporary mythology provides modern people with a metaphorical language which helps us to explore, share, and understand our perceptions of the world. | | | Theories of contemporary mythology are also being more consciously and deliberately employed in religious practice, psychotherapy, and the analysis of popular culture. |

| | Sommerland: Dragon Mythology Overview |
| | During the second invasion of the Persian wars (480-479 BC), the Delphic Oracle advised the Athenians evacuate their city because Persian attack was imminent: the reason the Oracle knew of this oncoming seige was because the sacred snake had fled. | | | The word did not exist in pre-Hellenic times, which consequently means that their appearance and attributes will tell us whether or not they are dragons, but discerning this can be subjective. | | | Now that we have looked into the dragon's ties with it's corresponding elemental forces, and it's inevitable linkage with the dead, we can look at the dragon's larger place in mythology, and perhaps it's most important role: as a creator. |

| | Joseph Campbell was one of the most influential and well-loved scholars of mythology, both contemporary and ancient. | | | By comparing the myths (stories about supernatural beings, usually gods) of one culture to that of another, Campbell found that the myths of all cultures find their root in human experience, both social and the subjective world of personal experience. | | | Author of many books, including the influential The Hero with a Thousand Faces, and The Power of Myth, a dialogue with Bill Moyers, Campbell's work is a cross-cultural study of the themes and symbols common to religions, mythologies, and legends across human history and from one continent to another. |
