Could someone please explain why a mythological figure has a genealogical entry? This is a sincere question, since these figures show up as literal ancestors on Geni, and I am not clear on the purpose of this. To my knowledge, this is not a verified historical human person with a known date of birth, date of death, and lineage. Is there really someone out there who is claiming Driva Snødatter lived at the given date, or are people just pulling characters from the sagas and giving loose dates to them?
Thanks in advance for any insight.
