parade of, sagas/myths

This popular sacred historic epic, the expanded exemplification of the immortal Vedic values, is the creation of the power attained through penance and celibacy by Lord Vyasa, the son of Satyawati.

Mahabharata is the greatest epic of the world, the biggest parade of historic sagas of our land. It reflects the social, cultural and philosophical picture of ancient India.

Could you explain to me what "parade" means in this context?

Also, Can I replace "sagas" with "myths" without any change in the meaning here?

The Mahabharata contains a whole series of sagas, presented one after another. A saga is a long, involved account or series of incidents; a myth is a traditional story concerning the early history of a people or explaining a natural or social phenomenon, typically involving the supernatural.

In this context, a parade is a series or succession of things - the stories that go to make up the whole Mahabharata.
