Theoretical Examples from a non-believing perspective: Known as :Jesus feeding 5000 men with a few fish. Maybe: Jesus had fishermen friends and followers. It is very likely that he helped the poor eat fish when the food market was in bad shape, and then preached when they thanked him, then got exaggarated to the point that he found fish always out of nowhere. Before you reply, yes they said he fed them all at once, that may be also exaggaration, pure and simple, from a short time span to a single day. Known as :Jesus forbidding eating shellfish for being "forbidden fruit". Maybe: He didn't want the shellfish eating to hamper the work of fishermen and the sale of fish. Known as :OMG teh dragons! Maybe: See the quote. Known as :Joshua blew a horn and the walls of Jericho tumbled by gawdly power. Maybe :Jews laid siege and undermined the walls, then when they began crumbling, the horn for the final assault on the city was commenced. Known as : Vampiric myth on many,many cultures. Maybe : The lack of iron in people made them drink blood as a medieval cure. Completely debunked : The Aztec Sun God loses blood when the Sun goes down as part of its perpetual battle. Is : Sun gets red when going up and down and is mostly seen red as a matter of physical laws about light. The list goes on and on. |

I seriously doubt that knights slew anything resembling a dragon, or even a large dinosaur. Pretty much all megafauna was wiped out in the K-T mass extinction - a fair few things survived it, but they were mostly small, such as smaller feathered dinosaurs (i.e. birds), mammals, and smaller cold-blooded reptiles. Unless St. George merely fought a honking great crocodile. I sincerely doubt that there were ever any 'left over' giant dinosaurs. There's simply no evidence for them beyond the 65-million-years-ago barrier, and it's clear that the wiping out of reptilian megafauna allowed other species (namely birds and mammals) to rise to ultimate dominance. |

Well if they had slain they would have them on display so I agree. Maybe they conquered a pagan temple with dragon statues,paintings or whatever in the first days of christianity, and the story got changed. |

Maybe using the dragon was a bad example, but we agree that myths(such as a dragon) comes from truth (of some kind). You said this:
....and I agree. Because this kind of folklore comes, originally, from "word of mouth" stories. So, it would be easier to manipulate or mis-understand their "original" meaning as they pass from generation to generation. |

I can imagine the battle cries: "Argh! A giant stone thing! Kill it!" "Oh no! An immobile knight! Stab him good!" "Look out, theres a VICIOUS pot plant over there" "Take THAT, incredibly flat dragon!" |
| To hell with that. | |

MYTHIFICATION DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY! I meant, the news of a knight conquering a drake worshipping Temple would end up like this: *St.Hanswurst conquered the drake worshipping pagans of polabia the temple crumbled when he entered!(probably due to siege damege) A few rumor cycles later. *St.Hanswurst conquered the Drake Cult of polabia and the temple crumbled when he entered!(probably due to divine fury! Oh noes!) A few rumor cycles later. *St.Hanswurst confronted the Dragon Cult of Polabia and the temple shattered, and the dragon came out! Later *OMG! St. Hanswurst saw a dragon in polabia, and when he shouted the name of gawd it shattered to pieces! A head? Um... It also got shattered! |
