...but the stories are just like fairytales

That is probably because for thousands of years there was no piped entertainment so the people made their own and laying there by the fire on a clear night making up stories about the stars was probably a big part of that. Those stories got retold and elaborated and handed down until people no longer remembered which were based on actual historical events and which were just entertainment.

Actually. The news today is not very different.
Most of the news is made-up stories based upon a few facts.
