I would say because a lot of mythology comes from the oral tradition of storytelling, passed from person to person and age to age via spoken word and memory.
There’s actually a SUPERB podcast about Greek mythology, called Podyssey. It’s tremendously interesting, and the host, Alex Andreou, just did a 3 part epic on Aesop, both the person (or rather the ‘person’) and the Fables.
Well worth a listen, either just that one, or the whole show tbh.
