A myth is a traditional story
A myth may attempt to answer some fundamental question in life, such as the origins of the world. A myth can also aim to explain mysteries or cultural traditions.
Cultures often have their own versions of common myths. One common myth found in many cultures is that of a great flood.

A legend is a supposed historical account
Figures such as King Arthur, Blackbeard, and Robin Hood are legends - a story that is claimed to be historical but is without substantiation.
Legend also refers to anything of lasting importance or fame. The story is told orally but continues to evolve with time. Masterpieces such as the Greek Homeric Poems (The Iliad and The Odyssey) started as legends and were later retold in epic poems.

A fairy tale often involves fairies and giants
A fairy tale often involves fairies, giants, dragons, elves, goblins, dwarves, and other forces.
Fairy tales were not written for children, and the endings were often miserable. In recent years, old fairy tales like Snow White, Cinderella, and Beauty and the Beast have been changed and "Disneyfied" to appeal to kids.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
