Myths and legends

   Myths are traditional stories occurring in a timeless past.They involve supernatural elements and are beyond the froniers of logic.Long ago,when our ancestors heard the sound of thunder and saw lighting,they were often  frightened because they could not understand these things heppened.In order to understand these and other natural events,they created stories.The stories were handed down from generation to generation all around the world.
   Although myths are not based on objective truth,they rflect both universal worries and the worries of specific cultures.The presence of the sun in the sky was a mystery in different parts of the world.In the cold northern countries,where the sun disappears almost completely during the winter,great fires were lit in midwinter to help the sun to be reborn.
  THE MYTH OF ZEUS AND PROMETHEUS.
The ancient Greks tell a myth in which Prometheus stole fire from Zeus,the chief god,and gave it to humans so that they could keep themselves warm.To punish him,Zeus chained prometheus to a rock where his liver was eaten by an eagle every day but grew again every night
    LEGENDS ,hoever,are stories about real people who are famous for doing somethings brave or extraordinary.Every time the sory was told,it become more exaggerated and so it is now difficult to tell how much of the story is really true.
