Myths, Legends and Folktales
The world is abundantly rich in myths, legends and folktales. If nothing else, these stories are very entertaining; with tales of love, heartbreak, jealousy, vanity, anger, compassion, compromise, murder, and alot more. They have everything it takes to make a modern movie, or a best-selling book, and many have.
But there’s much more to these tales than just entertainment. The stories of any particular group of people (modern or ancient) are the string that ties it together. They help members of the group understand, explain, and justify their beliefs, customs, and traditions.
Our goal is to provide the leading reference of cultural stories from around the world. By reading, and understanding the meaning disclosed in these stories, we can better understand the societies from which they come.
