Re: When does myth record actual events?

The difficulty of attempting to corellate myths with historical events is that
myths often predate those assumed events. Look at the commonality among
Indo-European mythologies. Certainly figures like Thor and Hercules may have
had some basis in real individuals, but I suspect that the myths predated the
people.
