* Define mythology, myth, legend, etc.:
From Bedford: A myth is a traditional anonymous story, originally religious, told by a particular group of people in order to explain a natural or cosmic phenomenon. Individual myths are usually a group of connected tales concerning a particular event, god, person, etc. The body of all related myths of a certain group is called a mythology. You read tales and myths from the Greek and Roman mythologies.
A legend is usually focused on a cultural hero who lived and died, even though the heroe's exploits may be exaggerated (such as King Arthur, AD 500, Britain, or Robin Hood, AD 1300, Yorkshire...not mythologies but legends).
Fables are neither myths nor legends. Fables generally tell stories of talking animals and feature a moral. Aesop (630-564 BC, Greece) wrote famous fables.
