Touche. I haven't really read them through and might have them confused a bit. Certainly though plays and poems were probably closer in presentation back then. Storytellers explained through their stories how/why things happened to a degree I think. Course the world itself was no doubt a very frightening place back then. Anything might be out there beyond the places that a man knew well.
