About This Quote

The story was told, generation by generation, in song and in story, until time misted it into myth and legend. But some believed, as legends brought comfort. Myths and legends are the same thing. They’re stories passed down from generation to generation.

Often they’re told to help us deal with our fears and pain. In the same way that a parent tells a child a bedtime story to help them fall asleep at night, myths and legends help us cope with things that scare us. They help us believe that the world isn’t really as scary as it seems.
