 | | Believers in catastrophism are only a small minority within the field of mythology. | | | Fiction, however, does not reach the level of actual mythology until people believe that it really happened. | | | While nearly all dictionaries include this definition, "myth" does not always imply that a story is either false or true. |

| | In addition to Indo-European and Near Eastern origins, some scholars have speculated on the debts of Greek mythology to the still poorly understood pre-Hellenic societies of Greece, such as the Minoans and so-called Pelasgians. | | | Firstly there is an age of gods, then comes an age when men and gods mingled freely, and this is followed by an age of heroes, where divine activity was more limited. | | | While all cultures throughout the world have their own myths, the term mythology is a Greek coinage and had a specialized meaning within Greek culture. |
