What purpose does this myth serve within the context of mythology?

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

Myths are stories that are based on tradition. Some may have factual origins, while others are completely fictional. But myths are more than mere stories and they serve a more profound purpose in ancient and modern cultures. Myths are sacred tales that explain the world and man's experience.

The correct answer is “religion.”The purpose of mythology in “The Metamorphosis of the Dnieper, the Volga and the Dvina” is religion. All three characters used to be normal people. They were part of a common family. Dnieper was the brother and Volga and Dvina were his sisters. They had no parents and they lived in orphans. To make a living they had to work very hard until exhaustion. They did not have a proper childhood due to the daily work they did to survive. One day they decided to escape and slept in a swamp. The sisters disappeared and he chased them through the valleys and Woods. The purpose of mythology in “The Metamorphosis of the Dnieper, the Volga and the Dvina” is religion.

In The Metamorphosis of the Dnieper, the Volga, and the Dvina (which are all rivers in Russia), the purpose of mythology that the story fulfills is explanation of natural phenomena. The creation of these rivers is what makes the plot of the story.

In the story the older people were telling the story and when someone asked "When was that" they replied "Very long ago" and they continue to say "beyond the memory even of their great-grandfathers. So with this evidence from the passage what would be the most suitable answer ?  I would say the answer should most likely be history.
