> [@Bicycle\_Bill](#): > > and purely for informational purposes — is there any difference between a myth _(like the stories of the Roman or Greek gods)_ and a legend _(like the tales of Robin Hood or the Arthurian saga)_, and if so, what is it?.. Not looking at the dictionary… I would say that a myth is very old, usually involves gods and goddesses, and often has no connection to history, while a legend is more recent, usually involves mere mortals (although very remarkable ones) and often has some connection, however slight and much-revised for better storytelling, to the history which inspired it. But there are always exceptions, and the line between them can certainly be blurry. In play: **Mythic Movies** 1. Clash of the Titans 2. The 7th Voyage of Sinbad 3. Jason and the Argonauts 4.
