	Mythology
		The word mythology (Greek: μυθολογία, from μυθος mythos, a story or legend, and λογος logos, an account or speech) literally means the (oral) retelling of myths – stories that a particular culture believes to be true and that use supernatural events or characters to explain the nature of the universe and humanity.
		While in common usage of "myth", the word may indicate a fiction, or half-truth (and nearly all dictionaries include this definition), "myth" does not always imply that a story is either objectively false or true, it rather refers to a spiritual, psychological or symbolical notion of truth unrelated to materialist or objectivist notions.
		In the 1950s French structuralist thinker Roland Barthes published a series of semiotic analyses of such modern myths and the process of their creation, collected in his book Mythologies.

		The main differences between the style of the tragédies lyriques and the Italian operatic tradition lie in the fact that in French opera, the libretto was the most important element, while in Italian opera, musical expression was dominant.
		Lully's recitative was modeled to fit the speech patterns of the French language, and arias are simpler and reserved for moments of strong emotion or reflection.
		The purpose of French opera was to glorify the king and therefore the plots contained conventional themes with allegories comparing the king to noble protagonists and with wit as relief, much in the tradition of Louis XIV's court.

		The dismal French performance in the 1870 Franco-Prussian war led the German high command to an overly optimistic assessment prior to World War I.
