Ever since humans began to take notice of their surroundings, we have asked why things are the way they are. Modern science has solved many of these mysteries, but the humans who lived long ago had to come up with alternative explanations. Thunderstorms were explained as a sign of the gods' displeasure, and a bountiful harvest was a sign of divine favor. The mythos and legends around each pantheon were created to shed light on a largely hidden, mysterious world. Today, articles, LitCharts, and books help illuminate the values and thought processes of the cultures that birthed these unique stories.
