The mythology genre refers to a category of literature, film, or other media that draws upon myths, legends, and folklore from various cultures to tell stories. These narratives often explore themes of gods, heroes, supernatural beings, and cosmic events, reflecting the beliefs, values, and traditions of a particular society or culture.
In the context of modern storytelling, the mythology genre may reinterpret ancient myths or create entirely new mythological systems, blending the mystical and mythical with human experiences. Examples include works based on Greek, Norse, or Hindu myths, as well as original creations like the fictional mythologies in fantasy or science fiction settings.
