Terms of use

TL;DR: read freely, share links, quote briefly with credit, and don’t copy whole explainers.

Last updated: November 2026

1. Sharing and quoting

Share links as much as you like. Quote short passages with credit to Myths Explained and a link. Teachers may show or print an explainer for classroom use. Republishing whole explainers, or using our text or pictograms commercially, needs our written permission first.

2. Who owns what

Our explainers, Q&As, page design and pictograms are © Myths Explained. The myths themselves have been public property for a few thousand years, and the public-domain translations we mention stay public too; we claim no ownership of either.

3. No guarantees

We aim to be accurate and to flag where ancient sources disagree, but an explainer is general information for curious readers, not academic advice, and we cannot promise it is complete or error-free. Writing an essay? Check the primary sources. Your teacher will thank you.

4. Other people’s websites

Links to libraries, museums and other sites are there for convenience. We do not run those sites and are not responsible for their content or practices.

5. Liability

The site is provided “as is”. To the extent permitted by the laws of Canada and its provinces and territories, we are not liable for any loss arising from its use. Nothing in these terms excludes rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

6. Using the site at all

By using mighty-satyr-cookietemple.shop you accept these terms. It is free and needs no account.

7. Changes and contact

We may update these terms; when we do, the date above changes. Questions: [email protected].
