The words myth, mythos, and Mythology are derived from the Greek, Muthos, which is taken to mean a saying, a word, and is sometimes equivalent to Logos. In consequence, Mythology has been declared to have originated in mere sayings, the clue to which was lost before Mythology proper could have existed. For it has been affirmed by Max Müller and maintained by his followers that the radical meaning and primitive power of certain words (and sayings) must be obscured or lost for them to become mythological; and that the essential character of a true myth consists in its being no longer intelligible by a reference to the spoken language. Such teaching of “comparative Mythology” is the result of its being limited to the Aryan area; and if the myth be no longer intelligible in the later languages we must look for it in the earlier. The myths did not begin in Greece or originate in any Aryan language (Gerald Massey).
