Actually, that's not true. Ozpin himself confirmed in "Rest and Resolutions" that he was the one who gave the original Four Maidens their powers, essentially identifying himself as the Wizard of the story. So when he told Pyrrha the story had been around since he was a boy, that was before we learned he'd lived multiple lifetimes. Not to mention the whole story occurred after he failed to stop Salem, it wouldn't make sense if it happened before. Living in isolation wouldn't have been so improbably after being cursed so harshly, not after what happened so long ago. Anyway, hoep this helps.
