The writer argues that legends are stories that are likely to have their beginnings in fact, but over time, are added to and re-told to suit the culture in which they develop. The writer compares and contrasts The Poem of the Cid, an epic tale from Spain and Beowulf, the oldest poem in English, and argues that the two works are both legends. Further, the writer argues they are both based on oral tradition and illustrate the developmental stage of the cultures they represent. They also share the device of a main character on an epic quest. The paper is five pages long and uses no additional sources.
