No, the myth surrounding the possibly fictional character had vast real life consequences we still live with. So the character became an important player in history. To deal with the consequences it is important to know the player, whether the character behind the player is fictional or not.
Gotcha. Thanks for the response!
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
