My favorite thing about myths is they usually had some kind of visible outcome in the culture they originated in. One of my favorite typical myths is that of the "god in ugly human form". Travelers started telling myths of Gods who would pretend to be humans, ask for a night to stay, when they didn't receive it lay down some
serious hurt, and when they did grant riches or long life or strong children or something. Most people think the lesson was that gods are fickle, but the truth is that this public mentality meant the hospitality of Ancient Greece was unparalleled. Turns out, treating every stranger like a "god" in disguise gives major credit to your culture. And who knows, maybe some of them will actually grant you "riches".
