Myths, Legends and Fables

Myths typically involve gods and goddesses and attempt to explain natural phenomena or real people/events but make them seem greater. Myths often contain lessons but are not meant to teach morality. Fables teach moral lessons through stories that usually involve animals and their behaviors. Legends are narratives set in the past that involve real people or events but exaggerate or embellish details.
