I'm fascinated by ancient stories that preserve some scrap of awareness of the gradual transition from hunter-gatherer to agricultural society: there's a Chinese myth about a minotaur named Shennong ("god farmer") who could tank poison damage, and so he ate a dish of every single plant that grows in the world to figure out which ones are good to grow and which ones will kill you.
