Philosophia 45(3): 1275–1282. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11406-017-9812-5.

I argue that Goodman has mistaken the basis for when mythical abstracta are created. Contrary to Goodman I show that, as well as how, Kripke’s theory consistently retains the analogy between creation of mythical objects and creation of fictional objects, while also explaining in what way they differ.
