myths and legends

I've been reading for an article I'd like to write about mythohistory and came across an author who suggests that myths do not take place in linear time. His example was the Odyssey, at the end of which Odysseus and Penelope ought to be quite old but there is no indication that they have really aged at all. So I wonder, do legends take place in history-like time? --Joe Quick 21:08, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
