Complete Book of Heroes, Myths and Legends

In dictionaries, the definition of myth comes as a narrative of fabulous or heroic times; For many historians, myths are legendary transformations of facts that were narrated one generation after another; linguists say that mythical narratives originate from deformed locutions; sociologists believe that myth would be the expression of a primitive environment in which the leader is elevated to divine status; and, finally, for Carl Gustav Jung's analytical psychology, they represent the multifaceted manifestations of the Self, the I Am of each of us. In this way, everyone tries to define what myth is, but, according to the ancient world, mythological deities were those who held the destiny of men in their hands, directing the world and conducting all earthly actions. For this reason, they were venerated in the form of human beings, animals and through the stars — a fact that contributed to their stories reaching the present day, becoming an object of study in the most eclectic academic circles.
