Mythology is a collection of myth?s. Myths range from the seemingly random adventures and fantastical creatures to the stories that comprise a certain belief system. Mythology figures prominently in religion, and most mythology is tied to at least one religion. Myths are generally stories based on tradition and legend designed to explain the universe, the world's creation, natural phenomenon, and anything else for which no simple explanation presents itself. Not all myths need have this explicatory purpose, however. Likewise, most myths involve a supernatural force or deity, but many are simply legends and stories passed down orally from generation to generation.

Mythology is most often used to describe the archaic religions of ancient societies, such as [Roman Mythology]?, Greek Mythology, and Norse Mythology. However, it is important to keep in mind that while some may view the Norse pantheon as mere fable?, others may hold it as a religion. Likewise, religions like Christianity have their own mythology, and are sometimes regarded as no more than a collection of myths by non-believers.
