What is a Myth? A myth is a traditional tale of deep cultural significance to a people in terms of etiology, eschatology, ritual practice, or models of appropriate and inappropriate behavior. The myth often (but not always) deals with gods, supernatural beings, or ancestral heroes.

What is a Legend? It is a traditional narrative often focusing on a specific location or specific historical figure. Like the myth, a legend often provides an etiological narrative, and it often fills in gaps in historical records. Unlike myths, legends usually do not involve powerful gods or world altering supernatural events--though they can to a small degree.

What is a Legend? Continued Famous examples of legends are the legend of Faust, the Flying Dutchman, and King Arthur
