Can you give some examples of myths based on true stories?

One example could be the story of Noah's Ark in the Judeo - Christian tradition. Geological evidence suggests that there have been large - scale floods in the past. While the exact story of a man building an ark and saving all the animals might be a mythologized version, it could be based on memories of real flood events.

Some names of myth stories are 'Prometheus'. Prometheus was a Titan who stole fire from the gods and gave it to humanity. 'Europa' is another one, where Zeus fell in love with Europa and abducted her in the form of a bull. And 'Andromeda' is a story of a princess who was chained to a rock as a sacrifice but was saved by Perseus.

One example is the Bell Witch Haunting. It's a well - known case in Tennessee. The Bell family was tormented by a mysterious entity. There were strange noises, physical attacks on family members, and objects moving on their own. Another is the Enfield Poltergeist case in England. Furniture moved, voices were heard, and children seemed to be the center of the strange occurrences. These are often considered as supernatural events based on true accounts.

One example could be the creed of many civil rights movements. For instance, the creed of the African - American civil rights movement in the United States was based on the true story of centuries of discrimination and oppression. People like Martin Luther King Jr. had a creed of non - violent resistance, which was rooted in the real experiences of the black community facing segregation, unequal treatment in all aspects of life from education to employment. Another example might be the creed of some religious groups that are founded on the real events and teachings of their founders which have been passed down through history as true accounts.

There are also covenants within Native American tribes. For example, some tribes had covenants regarding the use and sharing of land, hunting grounds, and water sources. These were based on their real - life experiences of living in harmony with nature and each other. These covenants were often passed down orally through generations and were an important part of their culture and survival.

Sure. 'The Great Gatsby' by F. Scott Fitzgerald is one. It's set in the 1920s and reflects the real social situation of that time, like the parties of the rich. Another example is 'Schindler's List'. It's based on the true story of Oskar Schindler who saved many Jews during the Holocaust. And 'Into the Wild' is also a good one. It tells the story of Christopher McCandless based on real events, about his journey into the Alaskan wilderness.

Spanx is also a startup based on a true story. Sara Blakely, the founder, was frustrated with the lack of comfortable and slimming undergarments. So, she created Spanx, a brand of body - shaping underwear. Her own experiences and the real need she identified in the market drove the creation of this highly successful startup.

The story of Joan of Arc also inspired fairytale - like retellings. Joan was a real - life French heroine. In the fairytale versions, her courage and religious visions are often emphasized, and the story is sometimes simplified and made more magical, like she was a chosen one sent by the heavens to save France.

One example could be Komodo dragons. There are true stories about their hunting behavior in the wild. They are large and powerful reptiles native to certain Indonesian islands. Their ability to take down large prey like deer is well - documented in scientific studies and real - life observations.

One example is the legend of King Arthur. There are historical elements that suggest there might have been a real figure around which the Arthurian legends grew. Another is the legend of Robin Hood. There may have been real outlaws in Sherwood Forest that inspired the tales of stealing from the rich and giving to the poor.
