Owner: Héctor Benedí

Tax identification number: 46707392G

Purpose of the website

The purpose of WorldMythos is to publish accessible and informative content about myths, legends, folklore, ancient religions, historical traditions and related cultural subjects.

The website may include articles about gods, heroes, monsters, supernatural beings, legendary places, sacred texts, oral traditions, historical sources and modern interpretations of mythological material.

Whenever possible, WorldMythos aims to distinguish between ancient sources, historical evidence, folklore, academic interpretation and modern popular culture.

Mythology frequently includes different, contradictory or evolving versions of the same story. The existence of several traditions or interpretations does not necessarily mean that one version is definitive or universally accepted.

The content published on the website may be corrected, expanded, updated or removed at any time. Although reasonable efforts are made to provide accurate information, WorldMythos cannot guarantee that every article is complete, error-free or permanently up to date.

Terms of use

Accessing and using WorldMythos gives the visitor the status of user and implies acceptance of this Legal Notice. Users agree to use the website, its content and its services lawfully, responsibly and respectfully, in accordance with applicable legislation, good faith, public order and the rights of third parties.

The website may not be used for illegal, fraudulent, harmful or abusive purposes, or in any manner that could damage, disable, overload, interfere with or impair the normal operation of WorldMythos, its servers or associated systems.

Users must not attempt to obtain unauthorised access to restricted areas, databases, administrative panels, user accounts, source files, server configurations or any other protected resource connected with the website.

The reproduction, distribution, public communication, modification, extraction, automated copying or commercial reuse of content owned by WorldMythos is prohibited without prior express authorisation, except where permitted by applicable law.

Informational nature of the content

The articles and materials published on WorldMythos are intended for informational, educational and cultural purposes. They do not constitute legal, historical, archaeological, religious, academic or professional advice.

Myths and legends often survive through incomplete sources, oral transmission, later copies, regional variations and interpretations created centuries after the traditions first appeared. Consequently, some subjects may not have a single universally accepted explanation.

The inclusion of a story, belief, deity or supernatural being does not imply that WorldMythos endorses the religious, historical or factual truth of that tradition. The website describes these subjects within their cultural, literary, historical or folkloric context.

Users should consult original sources, specialist publications or qualified professionals when they require academic, historical, archaeological, theological or legal certainty.

Accuracy and updating of information

WorldMythos takes reasonable care when preparing and reviewing its content. However, no guarantee is made that every article is completely accurate, exhaustive, current or free from errors.

Historical and mythological knowledge may change as new translations, archaeological discoveries, academic research or source analyses become available. Existing interpretations may also be debated or rejected by different specialists.

WorldMythos may modify, correct, expand, reorganise or remove content without prior notice whenever this is considered necessary to improve the quality, accuracy or clarity of the website.

External links

WorldMythos may contain links to third-party websites, digital archives, libraries, museums, academic resources, encyclopaedias, cultural institutions or other external sources that may be useful to visitors.

These links are provided only to facilitate access to additional information. WorldMythos does not control external websites and cannot guarantee their availability, accuracy, security, legality, accessibility, privacy practices or continued operation.

The inclusion of an external link does not imply endorsement, sponsorship, association or responsibility for the linked website, its owners, its content, its products or its services.

Users access third-party websites at their own responsibility. Each external website is governed by its own terms of use, privacy policy and cookie policy.

Advertising and monetisation

WorldMythos may display advertising, contextual advertisements, affiliate links, sponsored content or other promotional material managed directly or through external advertising platforms such as Google AdSense or similar providers.

The appearance of an advertisement does not imply that WorldMythos recommends, verifies or guarantees the advertised company, product, service or content.

Any relationship, purchase, registration or communication established between a user and an external advertiser is exclusively between those parties. WorldMythos is not responsible for products, services, claims, transactions or disputes arising from external advertising.

Advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies in accordance with their own policies and the consent choices made by the user. Further information is available in the Cookie Policy and the Privacy Policy.

The request will be reviewed and, where appropriate, the material may be attributed, corrected, replaced or removed.
