Post What is Mythology

Hey guys
I saw the post made by Omniscient called "What is demonology"
So I decided to make a Mythology one...
Enjoy

Mythology
The term mythology can refer to either the study of myths or a body of myths. For example, comparative mythology is the study of connections between myths from different cultures, whereas Greek mythology is the body of myths from ancient Greece. The term "myth" is often used colloquially to refer to a false story however, the academic use of the term generally does not pass judgment on its truth or falsity. In the study of folklore, a myth is a religious narrative explaining how the world and humankind came to be in their present form. Many scholars in other fields use the term "myth" in somewhat different ways. In a very broad sense, the word can refer to any traditional story
From Wikipedia for those that don't know what mythology is

Simply stated and more accurate than my thought as "a study of myths".
