    Every culture has its own set of mythical myths. The most ancient are Greek and Roman stories such as Gilgamesh's Epic, Dionysus', Adonis', and Persephone's Greek stories, and the Phoenician Ball. There are no more novels written in a contemporary style based on these ancient sources. However, if we delve at our Indian mythology, we can find many novels written by current Indian authors who employ the Ramayana, Mahabharata, Vedas, Upanishads, Shiva Purana, and other mythological texts as its fundamental foundation or pillar. The history of human knowledge is littered with mythical narratives represented in tales and passed down from generation to generation via oral or Tran scripted means. When one considers the fundamentals of legendary pattern creation, the question of "What is Myth?" arises. Why is it so intriguing that writers are connected with the Myth as their core, and desire to transmit their thoughts via out sketches of tales, and where does the idea of myth come from in people's minds? Everything, from the creation of the cosmos to how things have happened with humans and given entanglement in the societal framework, has nearly become a myth. These are traditional and cultural stories that are told or passed down from generation to generation by grandparents/parents to their grandchildren/children in order to teach them the value of good deeds and the consequences of bad deeds. The word "myth" comes from the Greek word "muthos," which meaning "word," "speech," or "tale." This Greek word Muthos was once confused with another Greek term, Logos, which meaning "speech" or "something which expresses mind." There are various ideas concerning the origin of the word myth based on its etymological definition.
