In mathematics, infinity is the conceptual expression of such a numberless number. It is often symbolized by the lemniscate (also known as the lemniscate of Bernoulli), which looks something like the numeral 8 written sideways (). This symbol for infinity was first used in the 1600s by the mathematician John Wallis.
An epic is a poem; most epics started as oral tales that were passed down from generation to generation (often in the form of songs), which is why they're poems. A legend and a myth are more similar, but a myth most often explains something about the universe. So while there might be a legend about a man who slayed all the dragons, a myth would be about the man who caused it to rain, or how humans were created. Those are the basics differences.
A legend is a larger-than-life story that gets passed down from one generation to the next â like the legends of Beowulf, Robin Hood, or even Big Foot. Legend comes from the Latin legere, to read.. The Latin word was originally limited to written stories, but in English, legend lost that limitation. Often a legend lives on in the stories that people tell each other.
