What is the most famous myth?

The Famous Myths that I know are, 1. George Washington was Americas' first president. Everyone "knows" that Washington was the first of the (so far) 43 Presidents of the US. However, this isn't strictly the case. During the American Revolution, the Continental Congress (or the 'United States in Congress Assembled') chose Peyton Randolph as the first President. Under Randolph, one of their first moves was to create the Continental Army (in defence against Britain), appointing General Washington as its commander. Randolph was succeeded in 1781 by John Hancock, who presided over independence from Great Britain. After Washington defeated the British at the Battle of Yorktown, Hancock sent him a note of congratulations. Washington's reply was addressed to "The President of the United States". Eight years later, as a revered war hero, Washington himself became America's first popularly elected President - but strictly speaking, the FIFTEENTH President! 2. Edison invented the electric light. Thomas Edison is known as the world's greatest inventor. His record output - 1,093 patents - still amazes us, over a century later. Astonishing, except for one thing: he didn't invent most of them. Most Edison inventions were the work of his unsung technicians - and his most famous invention, the electric light, didn't even belong to his laboratory. Four decades before Edison was born, English scientist Sir Humphry Davy invented arc lighting (using a carbon filament). For many years, numerous innovators would improve on Davy's model. The only problem: none could glow for more than twelve hours before the filament broke. The achievement of Edison's lab was to find the right filament that would burn for days on end. A major achievement, but not the first.

He was depicted as a young man with long hair and among his attributes were included the wreath and branch of laurel, bow and quiver and lyre [musical instrument].

He was the son of Zeus and the immortal Titan lady [Τιτανίς in Greek] Leto who gave birth of Apollo and his twin sister Artemis in the island of Delos [Δήλιος Απόλλων- Delian Apollo] which was a holy island for the Greeks.

That would be baby Hermes. As the god of Merchants, traveling, roads, thieves, and messages, Hermes found Apollo's herd, and got them to walk backwards. This utterly baffled Apollo.
