Summary/Abstract: The hero in the legend is a revelation of the unknown that manages to bring to the surface the essence of human consciousness even though it has been observed that historical facts receive in oral narratives a wide range of fabulous elements that, the farther away in time, the more they ensure durability. The strong personalities of our heroes can generate cultural models that can influence us through their positive or negative effects. The historical legend folds around a past event or around a real character Horia, Mihai Viteazul etc.
