What is a "legend"?
A legend is a traditional story or set of stories passed down through generations, often rooted in historical events but embellished with imaginative or supernatural elements. Legends typically feature heroic figures, significant events, or mythical beings, and they serve to explain or celebrate cultural beliefs and values. While legends may be based on real people or events, they are often exaggerated or fictionalized to convey moral lessons, cultural heritage, or a sense of wonder.
