Or… is it a narrative that people tell as a true story. Sometimes the details are difficult to confirm, but usually the story names people and identifies locations. The person telling the story usually does not claim to be an eyewitness to the events.  Legends often contain a moral or a lesson and are told to uphold the values of the community.
