Legends assist historians in understanding the past by providing cultural context, revealing historical events, shaping social identities, preserving oral traditions, and illustrating changing perceptions over time. They are essential for piecing together both facts and the meanings attributed to those facts. Ultimately, legends allow for a more comprehensive understanding of history beyond just dates and figures.
