Legends and myths
Legends and myths are traditional stories passed down through cultures that explain beliefs, morals, or natural phenomena. Myths often involve gods, supernatural beings, or creation stories, serving to convey cultural values and answer fundamental questions about the universe. Legends are storiesabout historical figures or events that become exaggerated or romanticized over time, emphasizing heroic deeds or moral lessons. While both are rooted in cultural tradition, myths often have a spiritual or symbolic meaning, whereas legends tend to focus on real or semi-real stories with a sense of history and heroism.
