Hey Miles, ever wondered why medieval chroniclers chose certain myths to repeat? I think it's a perfect mix of narrative power and philosophical resonance, don't you?
Miles
Yes, chroniclers were careful with their choices. They reused myths that could anchor a narrative, give legitimacy to the past, and mirror the audience’s own hopes and fears. The stories that survived were those that spoke in the language of power and shared meaning. So it isn’t random; it’s a deliberate selection that satisfies both the storyteller’s agenda and the listeners’ need for coherence.

Absolutely, it’s like a careful curator picking the right tapestry threads—choosing the ones that weave the grand narrative while still echoing the crowd’s pulse. The myths that stuck were the ones that carried both weight and resonance, after all.
Miles
Indeed, the threads chosen are the ones that feel heavy enough to hold the tale yet light enough to echo what the people hear. It’s a pattern that repeats, not because it’s perfect, but because it feels familiar.
Alfirin
True, the tales are like a favorite tune that sticks because it feels like home, not because it’s flawless. The chroniclers, in their own way, were archivists of the heart, picking threads that bind the story and the audience together.
Miles
Exactly, the melody of a story often outweighs its perfection; chroniclers chose the notes that resonated in the collective heart.

Yes, they were the original mixtape makers, putting together a song that everyone could hum along to—just a bit more parchment and less vinyl.
