Legend

In folklore and mythology, a legend is a narrative rooted in historical events, figures, or cultural practices that have been embellished over time. These stories often blend fact and fiction, presenting characters that symbolize cultural values or collective experiences. Legends serve to convey moral lessons, explain natural phenomena, or connect a community to its past. While they may lack verifiable evidence, their emotional and cultural resonance makes them significant, reflecting the beliefs and aspirations of the societies from which they originate. Examples include tales of King Arthur or Robin Hood, which inspire and entertain while offering deeper insights into heritage.
