Simple Definition of Myth

"A myth, in its simplest definition, is a story with a meaning attached to it other than it seems to have at first; and the fact that it has such a meaning is generally marked by some of its circumstances being extraordinary, or, in the common use of the word, unnatural."
This definition was made by John Ruskin, in 1869, in The Queen of the Air.
