Trigger words: oral tradition of mythology
Indicator sentences: Can I ask what you mean by 'the oral tradition of mythology'? Because you seem to just be talking about religion. Mythology and oral traditions are not necessarily religious.
Negotiation parts: Well; I grew up in a Hindu background. Most of the tales I've heard have been passed down orally, and it was lots of fun for me to listen to them. I guess you are right - oral traditions need not be religious. Folktales, etc. are an example of those that I'd forgotten. So a ∆ for reminding me about that.
