Ok whats the Big-deal here on mythology&folklore?

"Lighten up Francis". Reality is for those that are too small minded to handle fantasy. Expand your mind, you'll find you can think clearer in the 'real world' if you've given your imagination a little exercise. And the previous young lady was correct, mythology is a part of our heritage. It doesn't necessarily mean it is taken as fact. Whether it is Hercules, Perecles or Testicles it's fun to learn about the past and speculate on the future.
