Abstrakt: The article focuses on the aim to select titles that illustrate theoretical and research trends in studies of mythology and folk in the U.S. The terms mythology and folklore are often linked together in both lay and academic discourse. Mythology is an independent study devoted to Greek and Roman myths which had broadened to cover myths of people but had lost its status as a separate branch of learning and become an adjunct to several subdivisions of the humanities and social sciences. The sign of the coming of age of folklore studies is the appearance of historical and biographical explorations.
