earliest proto-novel that we know of is The Tale of Genji, that dates to roughly the 11th century

What makes it a proto novel compared to Greek or Indian mythology texts?

[-] HelixDab2@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

It's both fictional, and known to be fictional. Mythology texts are more like the bible; they're believed to be true.

That's an interesting point.
