Abstract
In the various attempts to conceptualize what myth really is, opinions are varied as to the truth or falsity of myth. Views on both the true and untrue nature of myth are prominent in most discussion of myth. It has also been expressed that myth is neither true nor false. This is largely so because there are more than one method of mythological interpretations. In this paper, we shall briefly highlight some of these views and their exponents.
