For people who consume a lot of fiction, it can also create or reinforce narratives.
The average person consumes much more fiction (books and movies) about e.g. Ancient Rome than they read history books about it, and gathers a lot of wrong facts and misleading narratives through them.
History books can have false narratives, but fiction books are much more likely to simply have false facts.
