Great Myths and Legends (a Childcraft Supplement)

---

Myths and legends are stories that have come down to us from the distant past. As you will discover, there are exciting tales of adventure, filled with sorcerers and witches, dragons and foblins, and all kinds of magic. Each is a story of good agains evil.rnAll of these tales were told by storyellers long before they were written down. And they were told with a purpose. Myths are about gods and dgoddesses and superhuman beings. They retr generally told to explain a belief or something in nature. Legends are almost always based on something that actually happened. They were told to glorify someone who had performed great deeds or caused marvelous things to happen.rnBut most of all, these are tales of heroes and heroines, young and old. They have the qualities their people most admired - courage, wisdom, goodness, strength, self-sacrifice, gentleness, loyalty, generosity, honesty, and kindness. And, like the Indian boy in the following song, when their time came, they did what was expected of them.
