It weren't Euripedes with Eurekas, it were Archistotle. I doubt if Euripedes ever took a bath, the dirty bugger. The Vikings didn't come raping and pillaging, they alsways said please before chopping your arms and legs off, it was just a Saga tour. There's the myth of the Munster cloak being acquired from shipwrecked Armadistas. George Washington the brave and chivalrous- who just happened to have 50 Frenchmen scalped on the Ohio in the 1750s. That king with the waves, wasn't he King Cnut the Dyslexic, a descendant of Ethylred the Unsteady? Lemmings that jump over cliffs? And of course the mythical age when milkmaids and ploughboys sang folk songs all the way to the wake.
