Question

Often, myths are based on events that actually happened. How does a story become a myth rather than history? Historians decide that the event actually could have happened that way. As people retell the story, they add extra details to make the story more impressive. Once the story becomes part of history, people decide to add parts to it. A mythologist writes a book that includes a factual description of the event.
