My favorite myth is the story of how the animals came to be as they are.
My favorite legends are about old castles and battlefields.
A myth explains about the world and humans in some way.
A legend is about a person group of people animals and so on that has had something extrordinary happen to them.

Pick a myth! I don't think I have a favorite, as such, but I find them ALL incredibly fascinating. Just imagining the ancient cultures striving in their world to make sense of the majesty they saw, gets me hopping!

Legends? Anything that strikes me. Gilgamesh, just about any version of the Arthurian mythos, Cucuchainn, the South Americas, China (I'm just starting to read about them now). So far, I'm loving them all.

Probably Merlin and the like - not sure if he was legend or myth, but wizards and sorcerers, shaman and witch doctors.  They are many and varied and worldwide.

Not the wretches that turn people into frogs and such, but those that healed the sick and divined the truth.  Those that could harness the wind and fire, the lightning and the rain.  Those that could walk through fire without being burned or buried alive for days on end and never die.  Those that lived for centuries and built up their powers and knowledge - no one knows how they died - that part is never told - assuming that they ever really died.  

I think they are still here.  new bodies, new faces - but just as real as ever.

Ancient cultures before the "flood", Atlantis,  all Gods/Godesses, Ancient Giants, the Count St. Germain, Vampires and all creatures of the night, and many more.

all old myth
