Paul Bunyan
Paul Bunyan, also known as our favorite giant lumberjack, is a fictional character. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but he’s just a mash-up of various real men. Bon Jean and Fabian Fournier, two French-Canadian lumberjacks. In both American and Canadian folklore, Paul Bunyan is a folk hero. His adventures are often accompanied by Babe the Blue Ox, who is also not real and revolves around tall tales of his superhuman laborers.

Socrates
Socrates was one of the most powerful and controversial philosophers of all time. He did not appear to speak a word about any of his philosophies. All of his famous quotes are taken directly from his disciples’ writings, particularly Plato’s. There is a good chance that an intelligent man named Socrates existed once upon a time and inspired this writing, but we don’t know if he was the man depicted by his followers.
