Myths are not stories about what happened. They are productive fictions — narratives that generate institutions, hierarchies, identities, and forms of consent. The ledger below is not a catalog of beliefs. It is an inventory of engines: named, sourced, and cross-referenced by the projects that have analyzed them.
Each entry is a working unit. Follow the link to the source project for the full treatment — the argument, the evidence, and what the myth is making.
