Mythology is a set of stories, commonly called myths, belonging to a people and addressing their origin, deities, ancestors, or heroes. While people today sometimes use the term "myth" to denote a falsehood (i.e. "That's just a myth. It didn't really happen that way."), the term here makes no inherent judgment. Nearly every religion has its own set of myths.
Mythology here generally also denotes information that cannot be classified as history. The historical record simply cannot prove most mythology as factual, although it frequently cannot disprove mythology either. The existence of the Greek gods, for example, simply cannot be proved or disproved. There are numerous mythological stories about them, but there is nothing that proves or disproves whether these events actually happened. Mythology is generally accepted on faith rather than fact.
