[QUOTE="FrumiousBandersnatch, post: 74466022, member: 241055"] It's not surprising really. In oral traditions, stories were used as 'memory palaces' - ways of passing on important moral and cultural lessons and ideas in a memorable format that everyone could follow. Much of the time whether they were literally true or not was irrelevant; even historical events would be retold as embellished stories - remembering the salient points was more important than literal accuracy, and who would contradict you if you made your own people the heroes?
