Mythology is the term for a collection of myths, especially one belonging to a particular religious or cultural tradition of a group of people – their collection of stories they tell to explain nature, history, and customs – or the study of such myths.
In the World of the God of War series, every mythology throughout human cultures and history coexist despite their contradictory cosmologies,[1] with each geographical region on earth existing as a version of the universe with its dimensions and earth based on the prevalent local mythology of the people living in that particular region.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]
