If you abide in My word... you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:31-32). We live today in turmoil of myths and myth symbols; fragments large and small of traditional influence that gave rise and fall for civilizations;….. Believes intertwined with superstitions. The definition of mythology The word "mythology" is a combination of two nouns, in the Greek language, which have a long history and interesting interpretation behind them; these are mythos and logos; In the beginning they had the same power in ordinary speech; for in Homer's time they were used indifferently, sometimes one is taken, and sometimes the other. In Attic, the dialect of Ancient Greek spoken and written in Attica and Athens Greek, Mythos signified (a prehistoric story of the Greeks). The application of the word Myth among scholars is plain enough, being a myth of Greece only; it is now used to mean a myth of any tribe of people on earth. In search the meaning of the word itself "mythos" which originally meant "speech" or ‘verbal expression’ in speech or writing word, which later came to mean "fable" or "legend". Sometimes "myth" is defined as a story of forgotten origin, it is basically religious or supernatural in nature, which tries to explain or rationalize a prospective or aspects of the world according to the indigenes people; The most common association of the words myth and mythical is with what is incredible and fantastic. Sometimes Myths have been used, in vulgar evaluation to be synonymous with falsehood or lies; the word myth that we use in everyday speech refers to any unreal or imaginary story. The thoughtless dismissal of myth as fiction or a lie is the most naive and misleading definition of all. How often do we hear the expression, "It's a myth," uttered in derogatory in contrast with such laudable, Worthy of praise and commendable concepts as reality, Facts, the meaningful, or a Statements of truth As opposed to the discoveries of science, whose truths continually change, Mythos meant, In the widest sense, anything uttered by the mouth of man--a word, an account of something, a story understood by the narrator. Myth, like art is eternal. Myth in a sense is the highest reality; it is mans expressions or depictions of what he believes life is; many such myths are most comprehensive. Some myths describe some actual historical event, Over time Myths have been told and retold without written documentation, so various storytellers retold it now it is impossible to tell what really happened, all myths are, at some stage, actually believed to be true by the peoples of the societies that used or originated the myth, Sometimes myths, where a religion believes. A myth is also distinctly different from an allegory or parable an expressive style that uses fictional characters and events to describe some subject by suggestive resemblances; an extended metaphor, a visible symbol representing an abstract idea, a short moral story (often with animal characters); which is a story deliberately made up to illustrate some moral or philosophical point or a virtue which has never been assumed to be true by anyone. Also Myth serves to interpret the whole of human experience and that interpretation can be true or fictitious, valuable or insubstantial, quite apart from its historical veracity, and conveying the truth. Now Logos grew to mean (the inward make up as well as the outward form of thought); therefore became the expression of ideas, images, representations, expressions characterized by perfect conformity to fact or truth; strictly correct thought--which is exact because it corresponds to universal and unchanging principles and reached its highest exaltation in becoming not only the reason in man, but the reason in the universe— “The divine wisdom manifests in the creation, and redemption of the world and often identified with the second person of the Trinity”. The Divine Logos, according (Miriam – Webster) dictionary is the Son of God, or God Himself. Acording to the gospel of john 1:1
