The most popular legend for the discovery of magnets is about Magnes who was an elderly sheep herder in Northern Greece. One day when he was herding sheep, the nails in his shoes and the metal tip of his rod got stuck to a rock he was standing on. When he dug into the earth to see what caused that, he happened upon lodestones. Lodestones are made up of magnetite and that was what was causing the metal to stick to it.
