Notion: Myths & Heroes
Séquence: 'Famous Myths & Legends in the English Speaking World'
Definition:
A myth is a story that may or may not be true. There may not be records or other proof that they happened, but at least some parts of myths may be true. Some myths may have started as ‘true’ stories but as people re-told them some parts may have been changed by mistake, or to make them more interesting. All cultures have myths and this mythology has been developed over time. These stories have great symbolic power, and this may be a major reason why they survive as long as they do, sometimes for thousands of years.
Pourquoi étudier les mythes et légendes ?
« Interroger les mythes, c'est s'intéresser aux héros et aux récits qui fondent une identité collective »[1]. En effet, le langage est le reflet d'une société, de perspectives, de traditions, d'un passé commun, d'un mode de pensée et d'expressions idiomatiques uniques. Il est par conséquent important d'étudier une langue en tenant compte du patrimoine culturel et historique.
