Why did ancient people make up myths? Myths are stories that reflect the culture and beliefs of a society and explain natural phenomena by using powerful gods and magical creatures. People in ancient times loved to hear stories of adventure and trickery, just as we do today!

Answer: Yes, our material is copyrighted. Nearly all the original material on the web is copyrighted thanks to the new laws that immediately copyright original work loaded to the web. If you think you won't get caught copying someone else's work, be warned - there are companies on the web that keep track of these things. Schools these days are paying a fee to these companies so they can see if their students are copying someone else's work.

The question was: May I use your material? The answer is - absolutely, with a few restrictions. See below:

RESTRICTIONS: You may NOT copy our work, put your name on it, and turn it in as your work. You may NOT post our work to the web without our written permission, be it on your site or any other site.
