The Wheel of Time turns, and ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legends fade to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again.
It hasn’t really ever occurred to me before how literal this quote kind of is. The series of course takes place in Third Age, and other events of the Third Age are memory - imperfect, distorted, with lots of lost detail, but mostly accurate. The Age before is the Age of Legends - everyone is heightened, twisted into awesome figures or primordial monsters, but a lot of the basic facts remain mostly true, recorded in ancient times. Then you get to the First Age, our Age. By the time of the books, things are totally distorted, the nuclear standoff between Russia and the US transformed into giants throwing spears of fire at each other, rocket ships transformed into fire eagles, centuries collapsed into nothing. It is fully the realm of mythology.
Memory to legend to myth, each in an age.
