Legends




Legendary stories were mostly based ancient hero's that fought for their people so they were seen as leaders. They legendary stories were also based on historical events that occurred but they were changed for the satisfaction of the people. Storyteller changed event that happened sometimes adding in order to leave the listeners with .


The mind map shows more of the historic legends from the shaka Zulu of South Africa to Robin Hood of and stories that have been told about these legends.





The 21 century meaning of a Legend has changed and has become more realistic compared to how it was seen before. We now see Legends as notorious people that are highly estabilshed in a particular field and we consider them as roles model, someone that we  look up to or admire. For example in sport a lot of young men considered David Beckham a legend because of what he has accomplished in his career. Some people considered close family member as legends this show how its has changed from storytelling of legends to now having your own favorite legends. 



Myths are more of traditional tales with magical powers or something of a higher power. Some are culturally told to explain traditional occasions like the aboriginal Dreamtime stories which explains the creation of earth.
