The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Western mythology is a series of stories that tried to explain the creation of humankind in ancient times and the way humans related to their creators, in this case, the gods and goddesses that exerted a major influence on the lives of humans.
One of the best examples is the Greek mythology that years later influenced other civilizations such as Rome. Homer, the Great poet of Greece, wrote two interesting poems known as the "Odyssey" and the "Iliad," in which he describes stories and the relationship between men and the Gods from Olympus.
In the case of Philippine mythology, this refers to the myths of creation and epic stories that speak of magical characters very alike to Malay and Indonesian stories. As with any other mythology Philippine mythology tries to give an explanation of the creatures that related to heroes and gods, Diwata, as were known in this civilization. This Philippine mythology was passed orally through generations.
