By Coincidence, just found the following in "The Science of Discworld II: The Globe" (Pratchett, Stewart & Cohen)

"This isn't one of those either-or choices: We are not obliged to accept one theory to the exclusion of the other, And this is a point we should make very firmly, for this and many other theories: things happen, all over the place and apparently in some confusion, and afterwards mankind goes and chops it all up into 'stories'. We need to do it like that that (sic), but occasionally we stand back and realise what we are doing."

This seems to be equally true of Gloranthan myths...
