Abstract
There is a confusion hidden in the readers of literature that mythology and fairytales are somewhat similar and serve the same literary purpose. Both of them owe much to human imagination in terms of their creation and presentation. Since time immemorial, both the genre has been enriching literature, art and creation. The two genres discus about flowery unreal tales, but are they completely unreal? Both have been made used in the artistic and poetic creations but the hairline but serious differences are less discussed. This paper focuses to discus about the two and their range that has not been discovered or not compared with their universal mate.
