What gap are you talking about? Yes you can look it up who created it.

No I didn’t answer who created it because… you can look it up. The information exists.

I don’t really need to put more effort into an answer because it doesn’t need it.

    Lol. "You can look it up." That's the entire issue here. Looking it up it says it's the woman in the OP. However, she was only written about several centuries later and, according to Wikipedia at least, "her story has been hard to substantiate and some modern historians doubt her existence."

    If you think that's enough then you agree with me and this other person. The story, though we can't substantiate it, is good enough to keep telling it. It doesn't really matter that it may be wrong. Insisting instead that we don't really know who created it so shouldn't say anyone did isn't useful.
