Myth-Telling Through The Years
Every Culture brings stories and every story is beautiful
The significance in myth telling..
In our 1.2 Native American Notes--Myths and Legends I learned that myths are traditional stories that help explain cultural history and beliefs for example in the Native American culture they have one story teller that was responsible for communicating to the next generations.
Egyptians<3
A common Egyptian story telling that I remember from my world history class was hieroglyphics. The Egyptians used this system of writing to draw things and write things that they felt we're important or symbolic to them. Today there are still pyramids that contain these messages!
Cinderella
Who doesn't love Disney princesses? When I was a little girl my parents would read me stories of Cinderella and eventually over time it became a movie and also had different versions of it.These type of princesses would be categorized under fairytales which is another type of story telling.
Oedipus
In English I learned about Oedipus this was categorized as a myth. In the story Oedipus he kills a man and marries an older women but later he finds out that the man he killed was his father and the women he married was his mother. He was very ashamed so he punished himself.
Poseidon, God of the Sea
He was the god of the Mediterranean Sea he described equal to Zeus in Dignity but weaker. He played an important role in myths because his story is very well known today.

Pinocchio(1940)
I'm sure your very familiar to the old time classic film of Pinocchio when I was a kid someone would always refer to Pinocchio when they found someone caught up in a lie. Pinocchio was known for his nose because any time he would lie it would continue to grow and grow and when he stopped lying it would go down little by little.
This is the end of my journey
As you can see with my examples I am very familiar with myths. They are far more diverse in this time period but I absolutely love learning about them especially the older ones such as Zeus,Oedipus,and Native American stories. It's so beautiful to see how different cultures are and how different their beliefs are and just how far we've come. My favorite stories are fairytales because they've always been a huge fun dreamy like story and I will read them to my kids someday. Cinderella has always been my favorite princess and as a little girl I was so enchanted with her that I still carry her with me today. I love that I got to present this because it's truly amazing to share such brief historical things with you!
