Myths and Legends from the World

There are many Myths and legends in the world and some are more common than others. Different people believe in different myths and legends.

Another story says that he died after eating a meal of barbed wire washed down with “nitroglycerin”. No madder what in both stories Pecos Bill dies.
Adam and Eve and El Dorado are one of the most popular and common myth and legend, but The Lug, Pecos Bill are one of the least popular myth and legend. I choose these myths and legends, because I thought it might be interesting to learn about the myth and legend I didn’t know about. What I found interesting was how many people believed in the myths and legends.
