folklore
Folklore (or lore) consists of legends, music, oral history, proverbs, jokes, popular beliefs, fairy tales,stories, tall tales, and customs that are the traditions of a culture, subculture, or group. It is also the set of practices through which those expressive genres are shared. The study of folklore is sometimes calledfolkloristics. The word "folklore" was first used by the English antiquarian William Thoms in a letter published in the London journal The Athenaeum in 1846.
tall tale 荒誕故事
A tall tale is a story with unbelievable elements, related as if it were true and factual. Tall tales are often told so as to make the narrator seem to have been a part of the story. They are usually humorous or good-natured. The line between myth and tall tale is distinguished primarily by age; many myths exaggerate the exploits of their heroes, but in tall tales the exaggeration looms large, to the extent of becoming the whole of the story.
folk v.s. mythology
In usage, there is a continuum between folklore andmythology. Stith Thompson made a major attempt to index the motifs of both folklore and mythology, providing an outline into which new motifs can be placed, and scholars can keep track of all older motifs.
不同國家、不同文化的傳說 share the same motif (ex. origin of the religion)

希特勒自己也是猶太人!!
雖然被滅族很可憐,但猶太人自己也要檢討。事出必有因,如果猶太人自己沒問題的話,不會有人登高一呼就引起共鳴。

John Keats La Belle Dame Sans Merci
“La Belle Dame sans Merci,” written in 1819 and published the next year in a form slightly different from the one here, depicts a knight-at-arms who has been seduced and abandoned by a capricious fairy. Told in the form of a dialogue, the poem recounts the experience of loving dangerously and fully, of remaining loyal to that love despite warnings to the contrary, and of suffering the living death of one who has glimpsed immortality.

鎖在銅塔內的青春少女
達妮 (Danae) 是阿耳戈斯 (Argos) 國王阿克里西俄斯 (Acrisius) 的獨生女。國王求神得一預言,他不但沒有兒子繼承王位而且將被外孫所殺害,奪其王國。因此阿克里西俄斯 (Acrisius) 想盡方法不讓任何男子接近達妮 (Danae) 。甚至命人打造一座銅塔,把她關進塔中與外界隔絕。
達妮 (Danae) 那正值青春美麗的眮體,果然引來了天神的關注。關在塔中的美人,不能外出只有一個老女侍隨側。宙斯 (Zeus) 不愧為情聖,化身為「黃金雨」,達妮 (Danae) 午睡醒來時,正巧從天窗傾瀉而下,如絲如縷、閃閃發光、如夢似幻,宙斯 (Zeus) 神不知鬼不覺,無比溫柔地進入了她的身體。受孕後的達妮 (Danae) 生下了一子,也就是後來除蛇髮女妖的英雄珀耳修斯 (Perseus)。
