Aristotle identified three primary appeals in communication: logos, pathos, and ethos. Logos refers to logical reasoning and the use of facts and statistics to persuade an audience. Pathos involves emotional appeal, engaging the audience's feelings to elicit a response. Ethos relates to the credibility and ethical character of the speaker, establishing trust and authority with the audience.

Mythos, while it may resonate with elements of storytelling and cultural narratives, is not one of Aristotle's established appeals. It is associated more with the narrative form and cultural context rather than the specific rhetorical strategies that Aristotle outlined. This distinction helps clarify why the choice of mythos is not considered one of the foundational appeals in Aristotle's rhetorical framework.
