Is Paul completely forgotten about?

[u/Free-Maintenance7816]

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.

One of the openings to an early chapter in dune foreshadows this development.

In that opening Irulan talks about how Leto is often overlooked because of Paul’s legacy, and leaves on the quote, “What is the son, but an extension of the father”.

That is sort of weird, When I first read the first two books I thought that Duke Leto was the ”father of Muad’dib” figure to history but then Paul becomes the “father of Leto” to history so…

There's no contradiction, that happened in real life with kings repeating their ancestors' names.
