	Legend - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Legend is distinguished from the genre of chronicle by the fact that legends apply structures that reveal a moral definition to events, providing meaning that lifts them above the repetitions and constraints of average human lives and giving them a universality that makes them worth repeating through many generations.
		When a legend that is rooted in a kernel of truth is so strongly affected by an ideal that it conforms to expected literary conventions of behavior, in certain cases it turns into a Romance.
		Legend may be interpreted for its ontological consequences and be treated as myth.

		A later development in the legend claimed the settlers were absorbed by groups of Native Americans, and their descendants remained somewhere on the American frontier for hundreds of years.
		The legend was not apparently restricted to whites; in 1810, John Sevier, the first governor of Tennessee, wrote to his friend Major Amos Stoddard about a conversation he had had with the old Cherokee chief Oconostota concerning ancient fortifications built along the Alabama River.
		It explores the Madoc legend, mostly through association with Southey and Samuel Taylor Coleridge who in 1794 had played with the idea of going to America to set up an "ideal state".

	ARCHIMEDES : Encyclopedia Entry
		This popular legend has been tested many times since the Renaissance and often discredited as it seemed the ships would have had to have been virtually motionless and very close to shore for them to ignite, an unlikely scenario during a battle.
		A group at MIT have performed their own tests and concluded that the mirror weapon was a possibility [3], although later tests of their system showed it to be ineffective in conditions that more closely matched the described siege [4].
		For some time this was assumed to be a legend of doubtful nature, but the discovery of the Antikythera mechanism has changed the view of this issue, and it is indeed probable that Archimedes possessed and constructed such devices.

		It is possible that legends associated with Polyphemus did not make him a Cyclops before Homer's Odyssey; Polyphemus may have been some sort of local daemon or monster originally.
		The Triamantes in Cretan legend have been suggested - they were a rural race of man-eating ogres who had a third eye on the back of their head.
		Another possible origin for the Cyclops legend is that prehistoric dwarf elephant skulls - about twice the size of a human skull were found by the Greeks on Crete.

	Myth: urban myth, creation myth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Myths are often set in mythical time, a time before time or history begins, and are intended to explain the universal and local beginnings ("creation myths" and "founding myths"), natural phenomena, inexplicable cultural conventions, and anything else for which no simple explanation presents itself.
		In this sense myth is distinct from fiction, legend, fairy tale, folklore, fable and tale.
		As a term it allows no distinction between fiction, legend, fairy tale, folklore, fable, and urban legend, each of which has a precise meaning.

	The legend of the Flying Dutchman - Unexplained Mysteries Discussion Forums
		The legend of the Flying Dutchman is as old as Homer, who showed us Ulysses as an unresting traveler, yearning for home and domestic joys.
		He points particularly to the fact that two essential features of Fitzball’s play, both absent from the old legend, are referred to by Heine in connection with the drama he saw: namely, the presence of the inscrutable Dutchman’s portrait in Daland’s house, and the taking of a wife by the unresting seaman.
		Richard Wagner wrote a play based on a legend that says the Captain is allowed to go ashore every seven years in order to redeem himself by winning the hand of a maiden.

		Antigone's character and these incidents of her life present an attractive subject to the Greek tragic poets, especially Sophocles in the Antigone and Oedipus at Colonus, and Euripides, whose Antigone, though now lost, is partly known from extracts incidentally preserved in later writers, and from passages in his Phoenissae.
		In the order of the events, at least, Sophocles departed from the original legend, according to which the burial of Polynices took place while Oedipus was yet in Thebes, not after he had died at Colonus.
		In Hyginus's version of the legend, founded apparently on a tragedy by some follower of Euripides, Antigone, on being handed over by Creon to her lover Haemon to be slain, was secretly carried off by him, and concealed in a shepherd's hut, where she bore him a son Maeon.
