The term 'Body of Legend' can be summarized as a SAGA, which is an ancient Norse and Icelandic form of storytelling. It is a narrative that typically involves heroic deeds and mythological events, often involving gods and goddesses. SAGA stories were passed down orally for generations before being written down in the 13th century. They are still popular today and have been adapted into many forms of media, such as books, films, and video games.
