From the origin of myths, they can often be traced back to the observation and explanation of natural or social phenomena by ancient humans, so they are likely to be real, but after a long period of oral inheritance and evolution, they gradually evolved into myths. Some of the stories and characters in myths may be real, such as the gods and heroes in ancient Greek mythology. Their images and stories have gradually formed the myths that people are familiar with today after a long period of evolution and inheritance. Mythology also contains many social, cultural, religious and other factors, such as the religious beliefs of ancient society, the spread and influence of myths and legends, etc. These factors may also affect the evolution and development of myths. Therefore, myths were both real and had gradually evolved into today's manifestation after a long period of evolution and inheritance.
