Theories about Fairies
A: The Celtic came up with fairies (Joe, 1999)
Because of the fact that they have many stories about the fae and incorperate much of them into their religion.
B: The Middle English created fairies (Fairies, 2016)
The english word 'fairy' originated from the French in the Middle English (Fairy, 2016), so the myth of the creatures may have, too.
C: The Greeks made the myth (Russon, 2014)
The first recording of fairies were found in 1000 B.C. in the Iliad by Homer (Russon, 2016). Also, some of the first fae folk were considered Greek nymphs such as dryads and naiads (Joe, 1999).
