Summary
This paper examines the features that certain legends published during the last quarter of the 19th century attributed to Basque identity. The legends selected are the ones that tell the stories dating back to a legendary past or to the distant historical past, the 8th century being established as the limit. The study has produced two conclusions. Firstly, that the Basque identity built up by the Patriarch Aitor was maintained by his descendents; secondly, that these legends rebuild the past reflected in their stories from the perspective of the time of writing, in other words, from the perspective of the last quarter of the 19th century.Sing up and download the publications of Eusko Ikaskuntza
