A myth is a story that is made-up. Myths usually come from real experiences, but are twisted and bent into something untrue. Non-fictional stories are stories that are entirely true.

Think of it like this. A myth is a story with a religious implication that was ONCE believed to be true, but is now known to be fiction. Myths usually have some sort of language allegory as well.

Can anyone state the essential difference between legend and myth?

A legend is a true story, usually about a person's deeds or exploits, which has been exaggerrated over time, with more drama and heroism added. A myth is something which is untrue, whether it be a story or a purported fact. So, I suppose a legend can be part truth and part myth. A myth can also be an idea, nationalism for example, used as a tool for socio- political control.
