Abstract
This article explores how myth functions within national identity as a shared cultural memory that supports social cohesion. Drawing on a qualitative reading of foundational theoretical texts in mythology and nationalism, the study shows that mythological narratives contribute to symbolic unity, sustain perceptions of historical continuity, and serve to legitimize dominant ideological frameworks within national contexts
