Some Myths Turn Out To Be Very Real
Pompeii, which was buried by volcanic ash was considered to be a myth or legend for centuries BEFORE abundant evidence of it was found. Just like we found evidence that Pompeii was VERY real it is likely that we will find that many of the figures claimed to be legends were actually here.

Caroline Myss takes a Jungian view to see Merlin as a useful "archetype" people can identify with sometimes: link
If there was a historical person named Merlin, he was probably a Druid associated with a Mystery tradition related to King Arthur... some tarot enthusiasts are into this... It's nice because it gives Western culture its own authentic mystical tradition... and the knights were the exemplars of this. Probably Wiccans know more about it...

" Probably Wiccans know more about it"
Doubtful since Wicca only came into being in 1950's. I did read somewhere that Merlin might not be a name but a hereditary title.

I think people would always amplify stuff just to get a better story out of something, but he was a real person.

That's what he tells me at least. Never read it. When I asked his name he said, I'm called "Merlin"but that is my title, not my name.

There are a lot of legends from wales Merlin being one of them. as the legends go through the ages they become myths.
the druids were the story tellers from the celtic nation. these legends hold more truths than people think. there is one pacific legend that shows that the legend to be true you can see it when the water level falls,and the village that was drowned to provide water to england,that will prove to be true, the church bell can still be heard ringing.
