They could be call Legends.

Every civilization has them. Before people could read or write, history was carried in the head of itinerant story tellers who wandered through the realm, reciting stories for lodging and meals.

These stories might exist for centuries in that form before they were written down. You might say that all very early history started as a bunch of campfire stories.
