 mythology
A mythology is a relatively cohesive set of myths: stories that comprise a certain religion or belief system.
Myths are generally stories based on tradition and legend designed to explain the universe, the world's creation, natural phenomena, and anything else for which no simple explanation presents itself.
Stories from scripture are usually not referred to as mythology except in a pejorative sense, but one can speak of a Jewish mythology, a Christian mythology, or an Islamic mythology, in which one describes the mythic elements within these faiths without speaking to the veracity of the faith's tenets or claims about its history.

A learned man once remarked to me on the strange fact that the ancients should have selected the least observable of all the planets, Mercury, to make so much of, as the messenger (in addition to his lunar character), because his revolution round the sun is performed in the shortest space of planetary time.
Naturally, the primary conditions of existence observed by primitive men were those that were most observable, and, foremost among these, were the phenomena of the day and the dark, which followed each other in ceaseless change.
Yet the mode of making it known, of teaching it by means of the Gnosis or science of knowledge, as one of the mysteries, so soon as the discovery had once been made; and this is one of the most important of all the factors in mythology.

The way Harrison and Lillie Lapahie relate their experiences at the Ute Indian Boarding School, was that it was like a military school camp, where American Indian kids and teenagers slept in barracks in bunk beds.
Because Harrison came from the Ute Indian Boarding School, he was registered with the Ute Indian Agency as were other non-Utes, even though he was Navajo.
Harrison Lapahie already knew of Lillie Todychini when both went to Ute Indian Boarding School in Ignacio CO, but Harrison was not interested in Lillie, because Lillie was a little girl around 7 or 8 years old, while Harrison was a teenager about 14 or 15 years old.

It is simply impossible for the non-evolutionist, the bigoted Bibliolater, or the Müllerite, to interpret or to understand the mythology of Egypt.
But when these same phenomena are dramatized, and the characters are made human, or inhuman, as the case may be, the un-moral becomes immoral, and the human image is disfigured by the most willful flaw, or wanton brand of degradation.
They do not help us to think in those phenomena which have been entified or divinized in and as mythology.
