Stories passed down by word of mouth from generation to generation. Oral Tradition Stories passed down by word of mouth from generation to generation.

Legends Stories about the past believed to be based on real events or people…everything is larger than life and supernatural.

Myths A fictional tale that explains the actions of gods, interactions between gods and humans, or natural events.

How are Legends and Myths Different? A legend is based on real events in the past. A myth is based on completely fictional events
