Symbolic tales spreading lies galore (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

allegories

'symbolic tales' is the definition.
'allegories' can be an answer for 'tales'. I also know that 'symbolic' relates to this answer.

'spreading lies galore' is the wordplay.
'spreading' indicates an anagram.
'lies'+'galore'='liesgalore'
'liesgalore' anagrammed gives 'ALLEGORIES'.

(Another definition for allegories that I've seen is " Symbolic narratives".)
