Do not suggest shopping sites, fantasy sites, and sites in languages other than English to this category and its subcategories.

Please suggest new URL's directly to the most appropriate subcategory for review.

Thank you for your cooperation.

This category is the top level home for subcategories dedicated to traditional and classical folktales, fairy tales, myths, fables, and legends (including urban legends).

Sites dealing with either Greek or Roman mythology exclusively should be submitted to Arts/Literature/Myths_and_Folktales/Myths/Greek and Arts/Literature/Myths_and_Folktales/Myths/Roman respectively.

Myths are sacred stories set in a remote past that relate about the creation of the universe and humankind, and may contain explanations for cosmic and natural phenomena, as well as the origin of civilisation, and social and religious institutions. The protagonists are often gods or superhuman beings.
