Some like little kids in believen there are such things called unicorns. Some people think ghosts are real some don't. I believen them though.
Well, yes! How else did you think of this question?
This is what i have to add to ths Answer.
***************************************
First off is you mean are there any Living legends around to day. Then it all depends on what you mean by that.
For example: As far as Unexplained Animals Well then The loch ness monster is said to still exists. It is said to be a Dinosaur still around from Prehistoric times. Scientist believe there is a passage from the Bottom of the loch leading out to the sea and the loch ness monster comes into the loch to Reproduce.
If your thinking along the lines of People i haven't hard of any men or woman still living that would count as a legend, However that doesn't mean there aren't any. Just that i am not aware of then.
Remember Legendary indicates that the person of thing in question exceeds Explanation.
Example. Hercules, A Man with unbelievable strength that could only be explained as this man being half man half God.
Or Dragons being an animal resembling a Lizard with a body the size of a house or bigger. This was explained as being the guardians of Gods or Gods them self's.
Of course if Dragons really did exist they were killed out long ago! that much i am sure of.
Hercules well there are surely Man of Equal strength around now. The defining thing about Hercules is that by looking at him you could not tell that he possessed such strength. The men that are in the World's Strongest Man events
Are men with hug body's and Balding muscles. It's clear by looking at then they could pound you into the ground with little effort. lol
As far as legends of past there are endless legends. To many to go over on this page lol A Legend is only a legend until is is proven Real AND Explained.
Good luck on your journey. :)
Yes Quakers are still around today, but they exist in a much different way then they did in past times.
They are still important to us today because they inspire us and are works of art. They are stories of love, hatred, sadness, and so much more interesting things! So, that is why the Greek myths and dramas are still important today!
No.

The myths and legends are entertaining. The drama is entertaining.
Myths entertain and teach us today, but it was from myths that we learned to trace genealogy, from myths that are the origins of ideas - psychology, time keeping, understanding and naming human emotions, "misery", "gloom", "love", all these are the gods of the Greeks.
Coz it is
they can be but most of the time no
The actual amount of myths and legends with vampires being a predominant figure is unknown. Most vampire legends seem to originate from medieval times, but have also been shown to exist in different forms from many different cultures from many different time periods, such as Africa, China, Asia, America, and Britain. Some of these myths have transcended time and are quite well known today, such as Puerto Rican and Mexican vampire referred to as the "Chupacabra" or "goat-sucker", which feeds primarily on the blood of goats (as known by its name). To answer the question simply, the number is unknown as many have been lost in time, with many still being created today. For more information on vampires, and myths and legends relating to them, please refer to the related links section below.
Through out history myths have been used to explain things people did not uderstand. We still do them today.
Folktales and myths remain interesting, entertaining, and educational, as long as one does not take them too seriously.
Myths and legends were created by ancient peoples that desired explination for the odd things that naturally occur in the world, therefore, the made a bunch of junk up. Today, in our modern society certain people may consider myths or legends to be truthful, and others strongly disagree, but they may offer morals, entertainment, and some really good stories to get those kids to sleep.
The myths and legends are entertaining. The drama is entertaining.

The same way you know about your god(s), if any. Most all cultures and civilizations had writings and artifacts, along with oral stories, that inform us today about their culture and beliefs.
Some famous myths and legends from the United Kingdom include the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, the Loch Ness Monster in Scotland, and the tale of Robin Hood in Sherwood Forest. These stories have been passed down through generations and still capture the imagination of people today.
