The statement that is not true about the characteristics of myths is B. Myths often tell stories of characters who do not stand out.

A myth is a legendary story about a hero or an event, which it explains. The stories usually deal with gods, demigods, other deities and human heroes that have more than human abilities, and in that way, they stand out among common human beings. Instead of science, which was not developed yet, myths describe and explain reality and rituals for the people. The fights among the deities and their intervention was one of the main causes of natural phenomena.
