Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Origin myths in the context of academic disciplines refer to simplified, misleading, or entirely incorrect historical narratives that are perpetuated through generations of educational materials to create a sense of tradition or foundational story for the field. These myths often serve to simplify complex historical developments or to highlight certain figures or ideas at the expense of a more nuanced understanding.
