World Mythology Final Exam 2. The term myth is one that is not easily defined and my definition of the term has changed over the length of the semester. In our first essay I defined myth as “a story or narrative that attempts to explain something in a certain culture.” Looking back now I can see that I had a pretty good base for the definition but after learning so much about myths around the world I find it even harder to define myth now than before.
