So this paper will be short, sweet and simple. Now starting with myth
The Greek myth of the Minotaur and in a cave
the story tells how king minos the king of Sparta had a labyrinth with the Minotaur who would kill and eat the bodies of the kings enemies. Well what I think what the true story is that some weird crazy old king who was sick of his enemies killed them and ground them up into like some sort of bread and feed it to a bull and had said bull in a cave.
The next myth i will break down is the story of king Midas and his magical golden touch
well the story goes on to tell that he prayed to Zeus or some other divine being and gained the golden touch and soon realizes how it is a curse and not a gift.
well i think that the truth is actually how the king wanted to by all that is precious to him and those things were the things he touched. So the “golden touch” is what he loves and how he sees it.

Now onto legends
Starting with the fabled King Arthur and the sword in the stone.
Now this might ruin it for you but let me tell you the ancient meaning of this
in the bible with the story of David and Goliath it is said how God blessed David to kill Goliath now how does that relate to the sword
well the sword represents the Blessings of the lord and how we revive them we are blessed by becoming king. Arthur represents how we have the courage to stand up and take a chance. The stone represents Goliath and the reason why is because everyone who approached the stone and tried to pull the stone couldn't because they themselves did not have the courage to go to the stone believing in someone other than themselves.
The next Legend is The story of Gods now i am talking about all legendary gods
Now this is the truth and it is worthy of being read
They are all true
the goddess of love Aphrodite is our emotion of love and care for another person just one random dude believed it was the embodiment of 1 person.
Thor the God of thunder from Norse Mythology he represents the courage to do what ever it takes to get the job done while being worth.(i am going to go off of the MCU meaning of worthy here) “whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of THOR” By worthy Odin is talking by they who do things not out of selfishness but out of the goodness of their heart and the courage to do what is right.
Please if you want me to Breakdown more legends of gods or anything let me know by the same Email
Now fact this is going to be more political and/or very frustrating to people
Fact Number one
The earth is not a perfect ball but is not flat
The reason why is because of the laws of physics now no i do not have any collage degrees in ANYTHING but i do know from my dad that when you spin a ball the Poles collapse and the Equator expands so if anything the Earth is More like a Football then any other ball or coin.
Fact Number two
Water is wet
Now I DON’T GIVE one crap if you say other wise because your logic even proves water is wet.
like this “Oh water isn’t wet it gets other stuff wet.”
Yeah well guess what I can Pour Water onto WATER and water would still be wet.
and if it is indeed not wet then how on EARTH how can it get stuff wet without BEING WET.
Fact Number 3
The sky is NOT BLUE from water
The way light moves is as fast as it can
Now the reason the Sky Is blue is the same way the sky on Mars is red.
Both are the fastest colors passing through the atmosphere therefore it is that color.
Now how they are the same Well to answer that question
Myth was created by someone/something
Legend was created by someone/something
Fact is the mix of both reality's where Someone did the math or science (take your pick they are the same) and Proved it and told someone and became knowledge.
Now is there a real Cinderella probably we are the fairy god mother of our story and the evil step mother. The bad things that happen to us is our challenges created by us. And the fairy god mother is someone there to help us get through said challenges and our Prince Charming is the reward we get after going through the challenges.
