The deathly hallows themselves have mythologized objects in "Beedle the Bard: Three brothers encounter Death."

Death schemes to trick the brothers by offering each of them a gift. The eldest brother asked for an unbeatable wand, the 2nd brother asked for the power to raise the dead, and the third brother asked for an invisibility cloak. In the story, Death claims the first two brothers, but the youngest brother appears to live until he is ready to take off the invisible cloak and reveal himself. Hence, the hallows are united and are said to make the person who owns them the master of Death itself.
