Overview

Legends and myths play an important part in cultures around the world. They provide some form of “explanation” of otherwise difficult things to understand. That’s why many myths are about creation, the origin of different things around nature, and death or the afterlife. (1)

For example, the story of Pandora’s Box in Greek mythology explains how evil was released into the world (the gods entrusted her with the box filled with evil things, but she opened it out of curiosity). (1)

Thunder is explained in Norse mythology as the sound of Thor’s chariot racing across the sky. (1)

Did you know why some people are rich and some are poor? According to a Greek myth, it’s because the Greek god Plutus (Pluto in Roman mythology) is blind. He randomly distributes wealth because he can’t see the recipients. (2)

Each culture has its own sets of gods and goddesses, although Roman and Greek mythology names are some of the most famous around the world. (1)

We’ve listed 520+ mythical names of different gods, goddesses, and other legendary figures below.
