“Myth is a story of a vision; it is a presentation of that vision told in terms of the vision’s symbols, characters, chronology, and import. It is a vehicle of transmission, of sharing, of renewal, and as such plays an integral part in the ongoing psychic life of a people.”
“Myths describe the various and sometimes dramatic breakthroughs of the sacred (or the "supernatural") into the World.

"Legends" es una canción del rapero estadounidense Juice Wrld. Fue lanzada como el segundo sencillo de su EP Too Soon.. el 22 de junio de 2018, tres días después del lanzamiento del EP. La canción es un homenaje a dos raperos fallecidos: Lil Peep, quien murió por sobredosis el 15 de noviembre de 2017, y XXXTentacion, quien, una inspiración de Juice Wrld, fue asesinado el 18 de junio de 2018. Tras su muerte en 2019, los críticos y fans reinterpretaron las letras de la canción como una predicción de su propio destino.
