Three Historical Myths you could Believe
Most of us believe historical myths because these fables are attractive or romantic. Unfortunately, these myths stop us from learning the actual lessons of history because they obscure the truth.
We believe historical myths because they are often more attractive than the ugly realities of history. Moreover, these myths are often more entertaining than real history which is why novelists and scriptwriters love them. Consequently, writers can refashion history into a simple story or attractive fable.
