N2  - This book focuses on myths that are simply defined as "sacred narratives", explaining how the world and man came to be in their present form. The introduction distinguishes myth from legend, with which it is usually confused, and offers a system of classification of myths, which follows the arrangement of mythological motifs in Stith Thompson's Motif-index of Folk Literature
