: Theories of Myth Paper
Resources: Assigned readings and Electronic Reserve Readings
Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper summarizing and applying theories of
myth to selected creation myths. Myth & Knowing discusses a variety
of theoretical approaches scholars use to better understand mythology.
Select three of those theories and summarize them in your own words.
Then, compare two creation myths using the theories you summarized to
explain how each creation myth functions in the culture in which it is a
part. Conclude your essay by reflecting on these theories to help
explain the cultural function of myths in general.
Format your paper according to APA standards.
