[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 8471866, member: 6779310"] Umbran [I]seems[/I] to be advocating for that. There are large portions of what is labeled history that are known only from transmitted tales that include monsters, magic, and even divine interventions... See also the Norse before the 12th C, the Cornish, Welsh, and Breton cultures before Rome, Wales and Breton Cymry in the 4th to 7th centuries, portions of Greek and Roman histories... St Patrick/Padraig is a documented historical figure... but the histories include him chasing the snakes out of Ireland. And that before him there were snakes in Ireland. The evidence says that the reptile snakes were out thousands of years before Padraig was born. Similar issues can be found in many texts that were (and often still are) used for historical takes on the places... but Historians generally just ignore the fantastic elements. [/QUOTE]
