Myths, derived from the Greek word ‘mythos’ meaning

Legend, derived from Latin word ‘legenda’ meaning
"things to be read", is a narrative of actions performed by
humans sometime in history; it an historical account of
events and people from ancient times. These accounts
may have little amount of evidence supporting the
person or place, but it cannot be effectively verified.
These tales include people or events in the past that
have been exaggerated to the point where it now
includes supernatural or extraordinary elements.
Merriam Webster defines ‘legends’ as, “a story coming
down from the past; especially: one popularly regarded
as historical although not verifiable; a popular myth of
recent origin; a person or thing that inspires legends; the
subject of a legend.” A person who is inspiring and has
achieved something is also known as a legend
according to modern definition. Legends are told in
generations to mostly teach certain lessons of faith,
trust, loyalty and other virtues. Examples of legends
include Atlantis, King Arthur, Helen of Troy, the Trojan
War, etc.
“thought, story, or speech”, are stories or tales that have
been rooted in religion or folk beliefs of that time. The
stories were a way in order to represent or explain how
the world came to be in its natural state and natural
phenomena that occur in the world. They are usually
supernatural in nature. Myth is defined as,” a usually
traditional story of ostensibly historical events that
serves to unfold part of the world view of a people or
explain a practice, belief, or natural phenomenon; a
person or thing having only an imaginary or unverifiable
existence.”
Myths usually involve gods, heroes and humans, in
various settings accomplishing supernatural feats. These
myths could be elaborated accounts of historical events,
an account of natural phenomena; a way to justify a
ritual or teach behavior or morals. Myths are basically
attempts to explain creation, divinity, religion, to probe
the meaning of existence and death, to account for
natural phenomena and to chronicle the adventures of
heroes. Examples of myths include Greek Mythology,
Thor, Roman Mythology, etc.
