They say many things.

They say many things, but some of those things that they say are not true. They are untrustworthy. Some say unreliable, but others believe that what they speak of are true. But who are they? Should we believe them? Is they a true person?
And can we refer to they as anything other than they?
(There is actually a whole debate on this, but it has nothing to do with the myth, so the writer will not discuss it any further. Well, it sort of does, but she does not have time for that sort of thing! -- Note from the transcriber)

Summary

They say many things is a myth or legend, whatever you wish to call it, about a man or person or god or being who said many things. Whether they were lies or truths no one knew. Some were so outrageous you almost had to believe they were true.
He went from place to place sharing stories and telling of things he had done. Leaping off cliffs and floating down safely to the ground; running away from rapid dogs, who wanted to shred him to pieces; killing Chupacabras, Lions, and strange creatures that no one had heard tale of with a single arrow, with his bare hands, with nothing but his feet.
The tales knew no end. A comedy? He had one. A tragedy? Thousands. A mystery? Of course. Something fantastical? Those were his favorites.
But as he traveled from place to place, eventually he got tired of telling these grand stories, and as much as they were true he longed for something more. (or perhaps he got tired of lying and wanted to speak the truth for once.) One day, he didn't appear at his regular bar. People started to get nervous. He never missed a stop. He was never late. He always told stories at that bar at that time of year.
The people launched a full scale investigation into where this man went, but as the people searched and called for him, and asked the nearby villages if they had seen him they slowly started to realize that they knew nothing about him.
The people called for him, but realized they didn't know his name. They tried to ask others if they had seen him, but couldn't remember what he looks like. They tried to tell his stories, but couldn't recall a single one. And eventually all that was left was a vague memory.
And after only five years of his disappearance the village people, who had loved and cherished his stories could only recall, "They said...many things."

Historical Basis

There were many people who told stories and tales and myths during this time, and many were consistent. Of course, due to weather or unforeseen circumstances many could not do their traditional tales or stories at their regular bars and pubs. 
However, no one has forgotten about a person to this length before, so perhaps this being had some supernatural influence. Of course, there is no proof of that.

Spread

This myth is common among storytellers and bards. It is more known in certain areas, but for the most part is a forgotten tale.
