Can legends be true

Answer 1

No because a myth is something that has not been stated as a true fact unlike legends. A good example of a mythological person is Robin Hood , it is said that he stole from the rich to give the poor , but its never been made to an true fact that Robin hood ever existed whilst a person like Martin Luther king is a legend , people have witnessed his existence.

Basically Legends are for real and Myth are something that has gone from one mouth to another.

Answer 2

a legend is often pasted down and a myth is less believable and you often can't get the story from more than 1 person.

Answer 3

General opinion will tell you that 'there is always a bit of truth in legends'

Answer 4

They are essentially the same, but legends tend to be more based on some truth, or on real events, both generally involve a lot of fiction.
