	Mythology
		In modern usage, "mythology" is either the body of myths from a particular culture or religion (as in Greek mythology, Egyptian mythology or Norse mythology) or the branch of knowledge dealing with the collection, study and interpretation of myths.

		Mythology is alive and well in the modern age through urban legends, New Age beliefs, certain aspects of religion and so forth.
