Well actually not all myths are equal. Some are actually more based on history than other myths, but those are basically legends that have become degraded over the millennium.

In some instances, history becomes legend and then legend becomes myth. Legend is loosely based on history and myth may incorporate or have at its center a historical event that may be very different than the actual event.

Does that reduce the degree of idiocy that must be involved in not only take the myth at its face value, but trying to parse hidden truth from the punctuation selected in the translation of the myth from a different launguage, which was in turn translated from another language, that was in turn a compilation of records of unknown authenticist, of the words of illiterate and superstitious hoi palloi at the bottom of social strata conveying, however unequal, what is still a myth?

Well archaeology. I mean we did find what is believed to be Troy after all.

If they find the foot prints of goddess Athena in troy, then let's talk.
