<p>207.234.145.43: </p> <hr /> <div>varbasviboc<br /> '''Myths''' are things in which people-in-general believe, but that can't be proved to be true. <br /> <br /> Generally myths migrate across the landscape between accepted facts and outright fictions, but some take up semi-permanent residence in the territory of myth, where belief is too strong for them to be abandoned, but proof is too arduous for extensive attempt.<br /> <br /> In the [[middle ages]], the worship of [[saint]]s helped expand the myths relating to their lives. The idolism would twist truth unintentionally as well as for political, social or financial gain. A good example is the story from the [[First Crusade]] relating to the wood that was mysteriously found in the desert. The claim was that it was from the [[spear]] that wounded [[Jesus Christ]] on the cross. This was shown to be a good omen and used to justify the push on to &quot;free&quot; [[Jerusalem]].<br /> <br /> Some entertainers (eg. the [[minnesinger]], [[Ulrich von Liechtenstein]]) also tended to tell tall tales that are hard to prove or disprove due to lack of evidence. As their reputation grew, so did the myths about them.<br /> <br /> Some myths have multiple origins but their similarity has melded them together into a single story. For instance, [[Robin Hood]] may have been based on real people and folklore and fables on someone called Robin. <br /> <br /> ==Medieval Mythology==<br /> * [[King Arthur]]<br /> * [[Robin Hood]]<br /> * [[Holy Grail]]<br /> <br /> ==SCA Mythology==<br /> * [[No Shit, There I Was]] stories<br /> * [[Urban legend]]s</div>
