Mythology of the days

The days of the Arabs in the pre-Islamic era are among the most important foundational sources of information upon which subsequent narratives relied to create a storytelling account of that era. These narratives are interwoven with features of mythical dimensions, which seeped in from ancient times, when they represented beliefs and sacred matters that had loosened their grip on certainty, leaving behind remnants that point to that sacred space. The stories of the days of the Arabs, whether found in literary books — which are the most numerous — or in history books, are the great epics of the Arabs and their scattered and fragmented myths across several days, which later transformed into popular epics that extended across space and time. And if the Arab historical heritage is devoid of myths in their original and foundational sense related to the creation of the universe, then this heritage is not free from residues and remnants of myths that were circulated within the sphere of Semitic civilizations or those close to the Arab environment. Those days were written by ancient narrators with a touch of myths, and they narrated what they collected from their stories with the water of primal life, so those days have remained with us.
