The quiz includes a large number of questions about "mythology and legends" such as those about the leprechauns or King Arthur.
A legend is a traditional tale handed down from earlier times and believed to have an historical basis. It is usually based on a true event in the past. However, the story may have changed over time to take on some special 'mythical' features. Legends usually have a real hero at the centre of the story and they are often set in fantastic places. The story will have been passed on from person to person, sometimes over a very long period of time. The fact that so many people have taken the trouble to keep it alive, usually tells you that it has some very important meaning for the culture or region in which it was first told. The stories about Robin Hood and King Arthur, for example, have been elaborated and expanded on down the years.
A myth is a traditional, typically ancient story dealing with supernatural beings, ancestors, or heroes that serves as a fundamental type in the worldview of a people. Sometimes a myth is loosely based on a real event but, more often than not, it is a story that has been created to teach people about something very important and meaningful. Myths are often used to explain the world and major events, which, at the time, people were not able to understand - earthquakes, floods, or death. Many of the myths relating to such events have survived for a very long time, sometimes for thousands of years, as it is only in recent times that we have begun to understand why some of these things happen.
