Stories are the oldest technology humans possess. They explain the world, define our values, and connect us to our ancestors.

Our Mission

Many of these stories are difficult to access — scattered across academic texts or lost in translation. We're changing that.

  • Centralize Knowledge: Create a single, accessible database for world mythology.
  • Map Connections: Build interactive family trees that visualize how gods, heroes, and cultures connect across traditions.
  • Preserve Variance: Honor the fact that there is rarely one "true" version of a myth.

Methodology & Sources

We prioritize primary sources whenever possible — ancient texts like Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, Hesiod's Theogony, the Poetic and Prose Eddas, the Kojiki, the Popol Vuh, and the Enuma Elish. Our database draws from 276+ scholarly sources across 31 traditions.

When primary sources are fragmentary, we rely on respected academic scholarship and comparative mythology studies. Content on Mythologies.wiki is informed by these sources and reviewed for accuracy, though we acknowledge that myths often have multiple valid versions across scholarly traditions.
