Mythology interprets the cycle of life and death through a lens of renewal and transformation. Many traditions view death as a passage rather than an end, symbolizing rebirth and continuity. Rituals and stories often illustrate this cycle, showing how life emerges from death, such as with seasonal changes or the relationship between gods and mortals. Myths may personify death as a deity, portraying it as an integral part of existence, thus offering comfort and explaining natural phenomena as part of a larger cosmic balance.
