Tense to use when writing about mythology
mythology and the past tense
Hi Everyone,
I need to write an essay about ancient mythology. I'm just confused about what tense I should use. I usually write in the present tense. But since this is about mythology. should I use the past tense?
Holt Educational Consultant - / 15458 Regardless of your source material and topic, most research papers use the past tense method of writing. This reference point is used because the information you will be using will be for this essay will be coming from previous publications. You may write in the present tense only if you are offering a personal opinion or analysis of given information. In that case, write as you normally would. Mythology is based in the past, which is why it uses the past time references. However, if you come across some information that was published the same day as your using it in your essay, then use the present tense. It would really be difficult to tell you which time frame to use at this point. While I can offer you suggestions, I can only be definite about the time reference if you can present me with at least a draft of your essay so that I will have a better idea of how to approach the writing style.

In my opinion, it may vary from context to context. If you're still confused, it would be better to upload your essay.
