The story among the answer choices provided that is an example of a legend is Pelops and the Olympics, as stated in option C and explained below.
Myth vs. legend
Both myth and legend are types of fictional stories, which means they are about things that did not really happen. However, there is an important difference between them:
- A myth is a fictional story about gods or any other types of divine characters.
- A legend is not a story about gods. It may even include people who actually existed in real life. But the story itself, the events it narrates, are either too fantastic or cannot simply be proven true.
Knowing that, we can eliminate options A, B, and D. All of them include mythological characters either from China or from Greece.
The correct option is letter C. Even though it is a story related to Greece, it concerns the creation of the Olympic Games by Pelops. The facts are exaggerated, but the character seems to have been a real person and the story concerns the creation of a real event.
With the information above in mind, we can choose option C as the correct answer. The legend is Pelops and the Olympics.
