I actually did and then did this >>12229235

I'm reading nothing but the Greeks and will soon be teaching myself Attic Greek so as to read them in the original. Women seem to love it btw. Pussy has never been easier. Seriously, just sit down with a chick and go on for about 7 minutes about Plato dichotomized with Parmenides and the panties just fly off.

Folk tales and myths from their own land, like everybody else in the pre-Modern, pre-globalized era did. Before Homer composed the Iliad and the Odyssey, he'd probably already spent his lifetime hearing all sorts of different myths about the heroes of the Bronze Age and the near-legendary Trojan War, which he used as base for his own works.
