In literature, "legendary" is used as a multidimensional term that both venerates historical figures and infuses narratives with a blend of myth and mystery. Authors apply it to individuals whose lives have transcended ordinary limits—as with Romulus, the legendary founder of Rome [1], or Perseus, celebrated as a Greek legendary hero [2]—and also to entire accounts that straddle the line between documented history and folklore [3],[4]. The adjective elevates characters, events, or locales by suggesting an aura of timeless renown and near-mythical status, whether referring to the supernatural haunt of a mountain abode [5] or an independent bookstore that has attained a cult-like repute [6]. In doing so, the term not only embellishes the narrative with an element of the extraordinary but also engages readers by connecting contemporary or historical detail to a larger tapestry of cultural myth-making [7],[8].
