WHAT IS LEGEND?
Originated from Latin legendus, legend means
“something which ought to be read.” According to J.
A. Cuddon, a legend is “a story or narrative that lies
somewhere between myth and historical fact and
which, as a rule, is about a particular figure or
person.”
Legend, traditional story or group of stories told
about a particular person or place. Formerly the
term legend meant a tale about a saint . Legends
resemble folktales in content; they may include
supernatural beings, elements of mythology, or
explanations of natural phenomena, but they are
associated with a particular locality or person and
are told as a matter of history.
