A Quote from C.S Lewis:

 

If he [the biblical critic] tells me that something in a Gospel is legend or romance, I want to know how many legends and romances he has read, how well his palate is trained in detecting them by the flavour; not how many years he as spent on that Gospel…. I have been reading poems, romances, vision-literature, legends, myths all my life. I know what they are like. I know that not one of them is like this. (Lewis, CR, 154, 155)

Professor of Medieval and Renaissance Literature, Cambridge University.
