Reply to comment by Kilmire in Sea creatures in Greek manuscript and Norse mythology may have been whales with mouths agape — Fish instinctively swim toward apparent shelter of creature’s mouth, a phenomenon depicted in ancient texts as early as 2,000 years ago by marketrent

How many stories do we tell kids where the fish gets bigger and bigger every time, or the bear scarier and scarier. I doubt that's new behavior, and story telling was probably a lot more common before we had radios and TV.
