Practice of Myths

The practice and role of ancient myths in society have changed over time. In ancient Greece, myths were looked at as stories that were actually true. Ancient Greeks believe this because of the belief in many gods. These gods were the main characters of myths, which made them seem believable.
Today, myths are seen as entertainment to people, making them less believable. Mythology itself is not as big as it used to be. This shows that something about the myths have changed the minds of people throughout time. That something is the storylines within the myths.
Myths have been changed and constructs many times that they become unbelievable. Even the most common Greek myths have been changed throughout time. They change due to how others view the story. However, many countries still read and have belief in the myths.
