** "Modern Mythology" by Andrew Lang is a critical examination of how we study myths, especially clashing with Max Muller's ideas. Lang thinks myths are more about human history and old beliefs, not just words changing over time. He argues that myths from all over the world can teach us about what humans think and feel as a group. Lang emphasizes the importance of looking at myths in relation to the culture they come from, like studying folklore, to truly understand them. **
