Abstract: Throughout history, tales, myths, and cultural expressions have woven a rich tapestry of human storytelling, transcending borders and bridging civilizations. This study explores the dynamic blend of folklore, myths, and cultural narratives across epochs, analyzing common themes and archetypes that reveal our shared human experience. Emphasizing the role of oral traditions, it examines how stories adapt to societal changes, shaped by beliefs, rituals, and norms. By looking at the impact of globalization and technology on these narratives, the study celebrates storytelling’s power to connect and preserve cultural identity, offering insights into its enduring relevance in today’s world.

Keywords: Oral Traditions, Cultural Identity, Collective Human Experience.
