QUÉ SIGNIFICA MYTH EN INGLÉS

Mitología

Mythology

El término mitología puede referirse a una colección de mitos o al estudio de los mitos. Una mitología, en el sentido de una colección de mitos, es una característica importante de muchas culturas. Según Alan Dundes, un mito es una narración sagrada que explica cómo el mundo y la humanidad asumieron su forma actual, aunque, en un sentido muy amplio, la palabra puede referir a cualquier historia tradicional. Bruce Lincoln define el mito como "ideología en forma narrativa". Los mitos pueden surgir como descripciones verídicas o relatos sobreelaborados de acontecimientos históricos, como alegoría o personificación de fenómenos naturales, o como una explicación del ritual. Se usan para transmitir experiencias religiosas o idealizadas, para establecer modelos conductuales y para enseñar. La mitopea moderna, como las novelas de fantasía, el manga y la leyenda urbana, con muchos mythoi artificiales competitivos reconocidos como ficción, apoya la idea del mito como una práctica social moderna, no sólo antigua. La mitología, en el sentido del estudio de los mitos, data de la antigüedad. Las clasificaciones primitivas rivales del mythos griego por Euhemerus, Fedro de Platón y Sallustius fueron desarrolladas por los neoplatónicos y revividas por los mitógrafos del Renacimiento.

The term mythology can refer either to a collection of myths or to the study of myths. A mythology, in the sense of a collection of myths, is an important feature of many cultures. According to Alan Dundes, a myth is a sacred narrative explaining how the world and humankind assumed their present form, although, in a very broad sense, the word can refer to any traditional story. Bruce Lincoln defines myth as "ideology in narrative form". Myths may arise as either truthful depictions or overelaborated accounts of historical events, as allegory for or personification of natural phenomena, or as an explanation of ritual. They are used to convey religious or idealized experience, to establish behavioral models, and to teach. Modern mythopoeia such as fantasy novels, manga, and urban legend, with many competing artificial mythoi acknowledged as fiction, supports the idea of myth as a modern, not just ancient, social practice. Mythology, in the sense of the study of myths, dates back to antiquity. Early rival classifications of Greek mythos by Euhemerus, Plato's Phaedrus, and Sallustius were developed by the neoplatonists and revived by Renaissance mythographers.
