mythologist

/mɪˈθɒl.ə.d͡ʒɪst/ noun

A person who studies mythology

Word Origin A compound of Greek mythos 'story' and logos 'word, discourse' — a mythologist is literally a 'story-speaker,' someone who studies and talks about myths. The -logist ending shows up in biologist, psychologist, and geologist, all from that same logos root meaning 'reasoned speech.' The myth- part connects to mythic, mythical, and mythology.
