Greek Saying: 

 

Mouth to Mouth

"Passing from mouth to mouth it was learned by a thousand, and by the time it came to be heard by the king he learned of how a cow laid an egg!"  

This saying indicates that we should take with a grain a salt stories that have passed mouth to mouth,  as they change on the way.

The saying speaks of how a story was told mouth to mouth, and by the time it reached the king the story changed to the impossible of a cow laying an egg!  It emphasizes that stories often change drastically on the way and more often should not be believed than believed.
