Foot's position according to traditional tale? (6)
I believe the answer is:
legend
'traditional tale?' is the definition.
'foot's position' is the wordplay.
'foot's' becomes 'leg' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'position' becomes 'end' (end is a kind of position).
'leg'+'end'='LEGEND'
'according to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for legend that I've seen before include "Story of mythical beings or events" , "Footnote" , "Person who has become famous" , "One always remembered" , "Saga" .)
