some historical events have become myth - take the Tale of the Nargun for instance. If read properly you can see that it's a story of how the aborigines burnt the scrublands to ward off the advancing glaciers. If read literally it seems like a story about Ice Giants lumbering across the land.
Maybe I found a different version, but the Nargun didn't sound like history-turned-myth to me. If you tell children that there's an invulnerable rock monster living in a cave, I'd assume you're just trying to scare them away from playing underground where they might get hurt or trapped.
