Los Mitos (Myths) son narraciones ficticias que tratan de explicar hechos de la realidad

Explanation:

A Myth is a traditional story or tale that refers to colossal, wonderful or even incredible events, involving supernatural or extraordinary beings, such as Gods, demigods, heroes, monsters or fantastical characters, and commonly seeks to explain some event or phenomena. Myths are part of the belief system of a culture or community, and play a fundamental role in a society, where they can be considered as true stories. Some myths are considered to be true accounts of a society's remote past, such as Creation Myths, which are narratives about how the world came to be and how people inhabit it. Other myths explain how a society's customs and institutions were established. Myths have multiple functions, however, there are three main ones, explanatory, of significance and pragmatic. The explanatory function means that myths explain, justify or develop the origin, reason of being and causes of a certain aspect of social or individual life. The pragmatic function of a myth means that myths can be the basis of certain social structures and actions, that way a myth could for example, determine a line of descent, or who is worthy of ruling in a community. And finally, the function of significance mean that myths are not only stories used to explain or justify certain events, they also provide comfort, life direction or calm to individuals in a community, for example, myths that talk about life and death, suffering or victory.
