: Re: Is it the right call to title my romance a 'legend'? 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
Legends can be told in first person.
Some myths from Ancient Greece, sections of the Christian Bible, Biblical Psalms, The Story of Sinuhe (from Middle Kingdom Egypt), and many others are first person narratives.
But you're asking specifically about a first person narrative by the character who is the one who is legendary. The answer is still yes. Remember, legends are not about one person, they're about a time, a place, and groups of people. For example, the King Arthur stories are of course centered on Arthur but they're also about Camelot, the Knights of the Round Table, the Lady of the Lake, and so forth.
Any involved person can narrate the story, including the central character.
The narrator would not know this was going to turn into a legend (unless s/he is telling the story of events from her/his past); the legendary part comes from how the stories fit into the narrative of the culture they come from (real or fictional).
