Why are Europeans obsessed with mythologizing people who are doomed or people who lost? Like Arthur for example, why isn't Mordred the hero of the story?

Arthur killed Mordred and won the battle. He is not a loser, but a tragic hero. And all cultures, not only europeans, dig that. It's a cool concept that any male can appreciate (even gays)

Sooner or later we all lost. It is how we face it what matters.

Warrior cultures are well aware that good men die as much as bad men in battle. There is cynicism there, but also that pleasant melancholy from thinking about great things since past.
Every long lived warrior culture to my knowledge, has a love for the tragedy of warfare. The glory and the fall of great warriors that is always coming from a life lived on the battlefield.
