Many Koreans have a fixed image that Greek-Roman myths (so-called classic myths) are standard of myth. This image is related to Euro-centered education in school of Korea. Many Korean students ask why we don't have a creation myth, and why have no heroes like Greek heroes. There are many kinds of myth in Korean oral and literal tradition. We have a creation myth, a flood myth, the origin myth of god, the birth myth of a nation, a shrine myth, and progenitor myth. We analyze and interpret these kinds of Korean myth in class. We also analyze myths by theories including comparative mythology, Sinocentrism, feminism and poststructuralism.
