What Is It?
Myths and Legends
A myth is a traditional story that explains the beliefs of a people about the natural and human world.
The main characters in myths are usually gods or supernatural heroes. The stories are set in the distant past.
The people who told these stories believed that they were true.
A legend is a traditional story about the past. The main characters are usually kings or heroes. Some
examples of well-known legends include the tales of Odysseus from Ancient Greece, Beowulf from the Norse
lands and King Arthur from Old England.
Like myths, legends were thought to be true. Mythology is a body of myths and legends from a
particular region and culture. Some examples are Greek Mythology, Roman Mythology, Norse Mythology,
Celtic Mythology and Chinese Mythology. Many cultures have creation myths, which explain how the world
came to be. These stories are interesting to read and compare.
Read the summary of the myth about Orpheus – a character in the Greek mythology.
Orpheus
Orpheus, son of Muse Calliope and Thracian prince, was gifted with an enchanting
music. The melody that he played was extraordinary. It could charm and no one could resist the
power of the music his lyre could create. The trees, flowers, and rocks were led with
enchantment. The beasts in the wilderness were tamed. When Orpheus sailed and got tired of
rowing, he could strike his lyre and would regain energy and would smite the sea together in
time to the melody. The sea could change its course and the fiercest spirit grew calm from the
soothing melody.
Orpheus married Eurydice. After the wedding, she walked in the meadow where she
was stung by a venomous snake and died. Orpheus grieved the maiden that he loved so dearly.
He went to many different places playing sad songs.
Orpheus took the journey to the underworld to seek favor from Hades and Persephone
as he wanted to be reunited with Eurydice. Charmed and soothed by his music, the king and
queen granted the will of his heart. Orpheus could take Eurydice back to the earth on one
condition. That he would not look back at her as she followed him until they had reached the
earth. As Orpheus and Eurydice were climbing up the way to the upper world, the darkness was
turning gray and finally there was daylight. Orpheus stepped out joyfully and quickly look back
at Eurydice but it was too soon because Eurydice was still in the cavern, a few steps from the
earth. Orpheus stretched out his hand to reach for Eurydice but she had slipped back to the
darkness. All he heard was, “Farewell”.
