To understand how the concepts of “myth” and “story” help us understand the Bible, first we need to define what a myth and story mean. A myth is a traditional or legendary tale usually concerning some being, human, hero, or event with or without a determinable basis of fact or natural explanation.

Woman of Owu adds a rational reason for the slave trade and clearly points out that human beings, rather than the gods, are the reason behind the war.

The pilgrimage and all that it entails is a combination of a sincerely devout journey as well as a pleasure trip. The choice of a pilgrimage for a framework for his collection of short stories also allowed Chaucer to accomplish one more very unusual thing: the storytellers, the pilgrims, because of their interests as people, often overshadow the stories that they tell. The General Prologue, known as the gallery of portraits, makes full use of the little human affectations and pretentions.
