Abstract
Introduction: Fabulous narrative, like almost every one of the arts of man, originated in the desire of rendering the great more vast, the rich more splendid, and the gay more beautiful. It removed, as it were, from the hands of fortune, the destinies of mankind, rewarded virtue and valor with success, and covered treachery and baseness with opprobrium.
