Here is the founding myth of the Anglo-Saxons in Britain... They had a founding myth of two brothers...

Hengist (/ˈhɛŋɡɪst/, HENG-gist) and Horsa are legendary Germanic brothers who, according to later English legends, led the Angles, Saxons and Jutes, the progenitor groups of modern English people, in their supposed invasion of Great Britain in the 5th century. Tradition lists Hengist as the first of the Jutish kings, or alternatively as the founder itself, of the Kingdom of Kent.
