The keywords are Fantasy / Fantastic.

People let grow a lot of misconceptions about history based on media/cinema/games representation of antiquity, medieval or even renaissance time. But that is normal. I guess reality can be boring in comparison.

I would say it is often the other way round. Many fantasy worlds are more dull than real history due to the lack of imagination of the creators.
