few common features that myths typically share:

1. Myths are often told as if they were factual. These stories were meant to offer reasonable explanations; therefore, the audience believed these stories to be true.
2. Myths include gods and/or goddesses, and these figures often have supernatural powers.
3. Myths include an explanation for how something came to be in the world. Such stories have ancient origins; therefore, they did not have the scientific explanations that we do today for such phenomena as weather.
4. Myths often teach morals to their audience. Within many myths, there is a lesson to be learned.
