"A myth is a traditional story passed down through generations to explain something about why the world is the way it is. A myth generally presents the views of the cultural group that creates it. A creation myth explains how the universe, the earth, and life began. Concisely stated, a myth must instill awe, explain the world, support customs, and guide people. These are known as the "four functions" of a myth.", as quatro funções do mito [nativo-americano] nesta aula.
