Legends ~ Week 2

Sample Student Posting:

I thought that the lesson about legends was really cool. I really liked the Chinese Legend about P'an Gu. It was kinda gross about his sweat becoming the rain, but I thought it was cool that "his breath became the wind and his voice, the thunder." Here are some links to other cool legends:

Ancient Pyramid Legend & Myths

Ancient Legends Give Early Warnings

Ancient Legends of Ireland

Some of these legends are really interesting. What legends have you heard that give "explanations" for natural occurences? What do you think about these legends? Why do you think they have survived for so long that people still remember them?
