Legends are often history processed to point some moral.

They are misleading as


history,
but they help us to understand the people who invent and believe in them.
Usually the
world recognizes as legends only the outgrown cables of earlier generations. But
this is
merely because, believing as we do our own legends, we do not recognize them
for what
they are.1
