I am writing a book and I plan to call it "Legend of (name of the protagonist)". But I'm writing in first person (protagonist). Searching the meaning of the word "legend" in google I get: "a traditional story, sometimes popularly regarded as historical, but unauthenticated." So a legend is a story that is unauthenticated, like "the legend of King Arthur". I'm writing a book that's set in fantastic world that doesn't exist. But is it contradictory to call a story 'legend' when the story is told by the protagonist? (Called legend by the title?) **In order to be called a 'legend', does the story need to be narrated by others, to add this status of 'unauthenticated'?**
