		In many North American Indian mythologies, the coyote spirit stole fire from the gods (or stars or sun) and is more of a trickster than a culture hero.

	The POD - Cetacean Mythology... Swim with dolphins and whales in the wild!
		Several themes commonly appear in ancient mythology from Greece to the tiny islands of the Pacific, though there is one element present in all: since time immemorial humans and cetacea have shared a very close, and quite unique bond.
		The notion of dolphins and whales transforming into humans is one of the most enduring themes in cetacean mythology, and commonly appears in stories accounting for the birth or creation of certain tribes.
		To this day, Norway and Japan, despite rich cultural mythologies which revere the whale, both continue to mercilessly slaughter great whales each year to neatly package the meat in sterile plastic trays to be displayed in garish supermarket refrigerators.

		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, also known as mythography.
		The term mythology has been in use since the 15th century, and means "an exposition of myths".
		Notably, during Romanticism, folktales and fairy tales were perceived as eroded fragments of earlier mythology (famously by the Brothers Grimm and Elias LÃ¶nnrot).
