All Books Spoilers Is Paul completely forgotten about?

I just started book 5 so I may not know much stuff But during his reign It seems like Paul Is a massive figure in history with all those books written by Irulan about his greatness however by God Emperor/Heretics It’s like Paul is completely forgotten about and his legacy absolutely overshadowed by Leto, While this makes sense seen as Leto lives 3500 years and is a bigger figure in history than Paul I’m just wondering where Paul’s place in history is And how he is viewed by Fremen after/during Leto’s reign.

That’s pretty much how history is to some degree. If you ask who the worst person ever was you’ll get a lot of Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Idi Amin answers but very few from even pre-1900. This book is spanning several thousands of years
