 | | Most historians, however, believe that there is no evidence that Noah was a historical figure, or that the great flood occurred. | | | They point out that the story of Noah's ark closely parallels that of the much earlier Sumerian Utnapishtim, and scores of other deluge myths. | | | But with Noah God entered into a covenant, with a promise of deliverance from the threatened deluge (18). |

| | NCAW Autumn 02 Antonis Danos on Nikolaos Gyzis's The Secret School |
| | The rediscovery of an ethnic past furnishes vital memories, values, symbols, and myths, without which nationalism would be powerless. | | | Despite a lack of any serious historiographical support for the existence of such schools, this myth has long been part of the populist historical narrative and is sufficiently acknowledged in official discourse to warrant its incorporation into primary school textbooks. | | | Nationalist narratives traditionally have owed much of their appeal and longevity to myths that find resonance in—and reinforce—a people's sense of ethnic or national collectivity. |

| | Christianity, Truth and Fantasy: The Holocaust, Historical Revisionism and Christians Today |
| | Revisionism has been more frequently and effectively applied to correcting the historical record relative to wars, because truth is always the first war casualty, the emotional disturbances and distortions in historical writing are greatest in wartime, and both the need and the material for correcting historical myths are most evident in connection with wars. | | | To so-called Revisionists, it implies an honest search for historical truth and the discrediting of misleading myths that are a barrier to peace and goodwill among nations. | | | Actually, Revisionism means nothing more or less than the effort to correct the historical facts, a more calm political atmosphere, and a more objective attitude. |

| | Columbia Spectator - Hobsbawm Speaks on Historical Revisionism |
| | The link between history and politics, Hobsbawm said, "reminds us that not only other peoples' myths but our own need to be taken apart." | | | Pointing to a twenty-year old "wave" of historical revisionism that has increased history's importance in politics, he then presented three reasons for this phenomenon: the decomposition of the nation-state, the rise of collective identity, and the end of the Cold War. | | | Hobsbawm gave several current examples of historical revisionism. |

| | History's Impact on Polish Art |
| | For the Polish nation as a whole and for people individually, the war had been primarily a traumatic experience and as such became an important element of a search for historical identity, conducted by many artists, especially those of the younger generation. | | | Even those who were strongly opposed to the traditions of the past, sooner or later come back to them consciously or subconsciously. | | | Certainly he was one of the very few who didn't do it for opportunistic reasons. |

| | Polish Writing |
| | The only extra things I had to do were to add a historical note at the beginning for any readers who are unfamiliar with Polish history, and check some of the details in their English versions, such as the names of various political organisations, military details and book titles. | | | It should be noticed, that when communism ended, the Berlin Wall collapsed, Fukuyama wrote a book about the end of history, in which he predicted, that the free market and democracy will be everywhere; slowly creeping happiness. | | | But I think it is never for me a myth of fairy-tale harmony. |

| | When we consider, then, the myths and legends of medieval times we should not be deceived into thinking that stories which we may now regard simply as folklore were always accepted as such. | | | In seeking their origins it soon becomes apparent that here, myth, legend and historical fact intermingle and, as so often happens in studies of cartography, we have to start by going back to the earliest days of the Greek world. | | | Stories of his existence were taken so literally that emissaries and letters were despatched to him on a number of occasions by the Popes; the travels of Marco Polo and others, in their search for his Kingdom, led directly to the re-establishment of links with China and other Eastern lands. |

| | For two thousand years Christians have believed, and taught others, that Luke's Gospel and The Acts of the Apostles contain historical and biographical information about the founders of their faith. | | | But before the Christians call for a celebration of their victory in this two thousand year old debate, there's a catch: Gabriel's Gift also proves that Luke and Acts contain references to pagan myths and legends, some ancient, that were popular at the time Luke sat down to write his two books. | | | Agnostics and atheists consider Luke and Acts to be nothing more than fantastic myths, written by and about superstitious, religious zealots. |

| | The Greek Myths: Preface |
| | Many of the myths, when viewed as mythology will seem confusing, self-contradictory and somewhat pointless as myths, but this is because are historical records of social and historical events which lose their meaning when read as quasi-religious mythology. | | | Some of the Greek myths explore profound matters and have through the ages challenged people with examples of serious thought, these are the true and spiritual myths, which abundantly deserve religious and philosophical study, and constitute to a major section of Greek thought. | | | We do know the Greeks were early in contact with India by the 7th century BC, and I believe some thoughtful Greeks absorbed some of the format of the Indian myths while entirely missing their religious and philosophical penchant. |

| | Historical Truth, National Myths, and Liberal Democracy |
| | The claim that liberal democratic normative commitments are compatible with nationalism is challenged by the widely acknowledged fact that national identities invariably depend on historical myths: the nationalist defence of such publicly shared myths is in tension with liberal democratic theory’s commitment to norms of publicity, public justification, and freedom of expression. | | | Once this is done (drawing on Arthur Danto’s analytical philosophy of history), it becomes apparent that historical narratives cannot be justifiably shielded from criteria of truth and significance, and that genuinely historical myths are incompatible with liberal democratic political philosophy. | | | "Historical Truth, National Myths, and Liberal Democracy: On the Coherence of Liberal Nationalism."
