Paul Bunyan
Paul Bunyan or otherwise is known as our favorite giant lumberjack, is in fact not real. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but he is simply a combination of different, actual men. French-Canadian lumberjacks Bon Jean and Fabian Fournier. Paul Bunyan is also a folk hero in both American and Canadian folklore. His adventures revolve around the tall tales of his superhuman labors and are often accompanied by Babe the Blue Ox…who is also not real.

Socrates
One of the most powerful yet opinionated philosophers of all time goes by the name of Socrates. By apparently, he actually did not speak a word of any of his philosophies. All of his famous sayings simply come from the writings of his disciples, especially Plato. There is quite a good chance that once upon a time there was an intelligent man named Socrates that did exist and inspire this writing, but we don’t know if he was actually the man depicted by his followers.
