“Myth” (Greek mythos) didn’t mean “a lie.” It meant an authoritative utterance, a weight-carrying public saying. Later we narrowed it to “fiction,” but originally “myth” could be a truth-bearing record of what a people remembered, feared, and organized life around.
Final thought…
king Tarrtarax had a lot of appearances that are not Indigenous oral-tradition primary material, but Euro-American re-packaging of “Seven Cities” motifs (sometimes with “Tartar/Tartary” wordplay layered on top).
