A legend (Latin, legenda, things to be read) is a narrative of human actions that are perceived both by teller and listeners to take place within human history and to possess certain qualities that give the tale verisimilitude.
An epic is a poem; most epics started as oral tales that were passed down from generation to generation (often in the form of songs), which is why they're poems. A legend and a myth are more similar, but a myth most often explains something about the universe. So while there might be a legend about a man who slayed all the dragons, a myth would be about the man who caused it to rain, or how humans were created. Those are the basics differences.
