And I'm just saying every myth is based on something. Usually something far more mundane than the myth.
Like there really was a Trojan War and there probably was a guy named Achilles who fought in it and made a reputation for himself, but he probably wasn't dipped in a magical pool of invincibility as a baby. And Herculese may have really existed and been a really big, strong guy, but he probably didn't actually throw a bull into the sky and create the constellation Torus.
