Mythology: A collection of stories or legends that explain the beliefs, customs, and origins associated with a particular group's pantheon of gods.
Polytheism: The belief in or worship of multiple gods. Pantheons are typically found within polytheistic religions.
Zeus/Jupiter/Odin/Ra (specific deity names): Examples of individual gods from various pantheons around the world. Each god has their own distinct characteristics and mythology.
