It is a legend. Legends typically contain a small sliver of truth, but they become misconstrued and distorted over time.
"A legend contains some facts and becomes exaggerated to the point that real people or events take on a 'larger than life' quality. In contrast, a myth isn't based on fact, but is symbolic storytelling that was never based on fact."
- Bismarck Tribune, "Examining the difference between myths and legends"
"... It was an epoch-defining moment in their distant past. As the historical sources - Herodotus and Eratosthenes - show, it was generally assumed to have been a real event."
- BBC Culture, "Did the Trojan War actually happen?"
The correct form would be "covers"

Answer:
The correct answer is "In the forests of the night.."
Explanation:
Let's start by clarifying what symbolism is. This tool used in literature is used to give an alternative meaning to an object, situation or person. This meaning is usually deeper than what is being talked about in the story in general.
Here we have <em>" In the forests of the night "</em> it could symbolize fear of sleep or darkness.
The nights do not have forests, so we should not take into account their literary meaning.
