There are several other words or synonyms for legend. Some include fable, myth, tale, tradition, saga, narrative, and the word folklore.
A tall tale legend- a sage, a tale, a fableA person/place legend (i.e. Superman is alegend)- a hero, a celebrity
The first one that comes to my mind is the tale of Isis and Osiris.
Faust is a German folk tale. It isn't a myth because it was never accepted as a religious or ideological truth. The story was always accepted as fictitious and it contains a specific moral.
Dracula is a Myth because an urban legend is a legend told from person to person claiming that it happened to someone. For example, the vanishing hitchhiker is a urban legend about how someone picked up a hitchhiker and saw them completely vanish after they gave them a ride. A myth is when a story is told about a certain creature or tale that is regarded as fiction. A story turns into a legend and then a legend into a myth. It is like a chain that either starts from a true story or a tale that is not scientifically proven. Based upon a person's opinion, a myth can be true. You will never know but that is the same with urban legends. You can either trust the person that passed you the information, or choose to ignore it until it happens to you. It is all your choice.
A tale is another word for legend. Folktales and myths are not legends. Legends are unclear if they are true.
Other names for 'legend' are folklore, tale, saga and myth. A legend generally tell stories from the past and are somewhat historical in nature.
Technically, there isn't one. But if you're looking for another name for folktale, there's legend and fable.
