A legend is something that is possibly true or is based on some actual person or event, but firm evidence is lacking.

A myth might be just a created story, or even a lie. Some may have begun as legend but have been elaborated on so much that their credibility is questionable.

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.
