The legends:

Brazilian legends originate from the mixture of peoples, our colonization, our culture.

Legends are not lies, nor are they absolute truths; they are stories that pass through generations and elements are added to them, yet they resist time and populate the imagination; they are like books, only they are not read but heard.

Myth is the character the legend is about, because the Legend is the story about someone or something determined.
