[[description::the study of causation, or origination]]

An aetiological myth, or origin myth, is a myth intended to explain the origins of cult practices, natural phenomena. For instance [[character::Prometheus]] tricked [[character::Zeus]] into choosing the bones and fat of the first sacrificial animal rather than the meat to justify why, after a sacrifice, the Greeks offered the bones wrapped in fat to the gods while keeping the meat for themselves.
