we could say : this is what happened for real
and this is what x/y/z culture think has happened

It's the very possibility (and uncertainty) of legends being true that makes them exciting. They become far less interesting if they are known for certain to be true, and even less interesting still if they're known to be false.

Having but a single origin to all things also seems needlessly restrictive. Why couldn't one tribe of humans be spawned from the shed scales of a world-circling dragon, another tribe the offspring of a pair of gods that fell down from the heavens, a third tribe arising from the verses of a poem given form in flesh? Such myths could even be all true simultaneously, since they'd apply to different parts of mankind.
