Thompson and Schrempp define myths as “narratives of profound cultural and individual importance that in some way help establish our symbolic sense of the ultimate shape and meaning of existence—of ourselves, of everything else in the cosmos, and perhaps especially of the relationship between the two” (p.7).
Doniger defines myth as “a story that is sacred to and shared by a group of people who find their most important meanings in it; it is a story believed to have been composed in the past about an event in the past, or, more rarely, in the future, an event that continues to have meaning in the present because it is remembered; it is a story that is part of a larger group of stories” (p.3). She also has much to say about what myth is not.

How do Doniger, and Thompson and Schrempp challenge the colloquial use of “myth” to denote something that is false or untrue?
