Mythology

Every religion has myths. Christians and Jews have Genesis (a creation myth and a flood myth), Christians in particular have myths surrounding the resurrection, Muslims have Mohammed on a flying horse to heaven, Tibetan Buddhists have one, Roman and Greek mythology is quite well known, Aztecs, Inca, Olmecs and various other nations in South America had elaborate mythologies, to which their monuments pay tribute, et caetera ad nauseam. They are all stories. Stories are important. They are the foundation of what a religions is. Kleuske (talk) 17:40, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Every religion has a mythology, this is not a derogatory term. See Christian mythology, Islamic mythology, Jewish mythology, Buddhist mythology, etc. Please STOP vandalizing this article. Azerty82 (talk) 17:42, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Undue emphasis on Epics and Dashavatara

I have removed most of the 'info" on the Epics, and all of the Dashavatara diff; The "info" on the Epics was more essay-like than informative, while the Dashavatara is just one among many mythologies, aand does not need such excessive treatment here.
