Editorial principles
Mythoblog follows a popularization approach grounded in academic sources. We do not claim the exhaustiveness of a scholarly publication, but we aim for reliability and readability.
Ancient and modern sources
Each récit (myth retelling) and fiche (entry) cites, wherever possible, the primary ancient sources of reference (Homer, Hesiod, the Poetic and Prose Eddas, the Puranas, the Kojiki, Mesoamerican codices, etc.). These sources are listed in the frontmatter and displayed at the bottom of the article.
Handling variants
Myths exist in multiple versions. When a significant variant exists (for example, two traditions for the birth of Athena), we make the divergence explicit rather than arbitrarily picking one.
Transliteration
For names from non-Latin writing systems (Greek, Japanese, Arabic, Sanskrit, etc.), we use the most common English transliteration, with the original form noted when useful.
AI-assisted content
Some articles are drafted or enriched with the help of AI tools, under human editorial supervision. Any factual error reported is corrected as quickly as possible.
Reporting errors
To report an inaccuracy, please use the contact page. We correct and update articles within seven business days.
Advertising
The site currently displays no advertising and deploys no advertising cookies. Should a privacy-respecting ad network be integrated in the future, it would have no influence on editorial direction and would be explicitly disclosed in the privacy policy.
