>Why are they in the myth at all?

Because it's myth, not story. You don't have one composition by an author who has plenty of time to think over and edit the plotline or plotlines to make sure it's a coherent whole. You have a huge number of stories being tossed around by various authors, half of which contradict the other half, and eventually get rolled together in some sort of grand retelling, based on what that individual compiler thinks was cool.
