Myth may refer to:
- myth from (mythos) identifies a sacred story or narrative containing supernatural, divine or heroic beings, arranged in a coherent system, passed down orally, and linked to the spiritual or religious life of a community. Myths have existed in all cultures since before recorded history. Myths are often set in mythical time, a time before time or history begins, and are intended to explain the universal and local beginnings ("creation myths" and "founding myths"), natural phenomena, inexplicable cultural conventions, and anything else for which no simple explanation presents itself. In this sense myth is distinct from fiction, legend, fairy tale, folklore, fable and tale. A myth may also describe in story form, how elements of the human psyche interact (eg She: Understanding Feminine Psychology, Robert A Johnson, ISBN 0-06-096397-2).
- myth a comparatively recent term that has been applied to stories that purport to have a basis in fact, but when examined are fictional. For example; urban myth, the myth of El Dorado. This usage, which is often pejorative, may have arisen from labelling the religious stories and beliefs of other cultures as being incorrect. As a term it allows no distinction between fiction, legend, fairy tale, folklore, fable, and urban legend, each of which has a precise meaning.
