Answer:
an attempt to explain an origin
Step-by-step explanation:
The myths configure narratives - which began to be used in ancient Greece - that aim to explain facts of reality and phenomena of nature. The symbolism and often naivety surrounding the myth is linked to the fact that at that time the Greeks used them to seek explanations for the origin of the universe and human life, things they did not quite understand.
This attempt to explain the origin of something is the element of a myth we find in "The Beginning of the Maasai"
