The Great Fire of London (inspiring “London’s Burning”)?María Andrea Fernández Sepúlveda wrote: ↑30 Sep 2023, 08:22 NEW RIDDLE:
I'm a tragedy, but I have a monument built after me.
I lasted four days.
I inspired a nursery rhyme.

The Great Fire inspired the nursery rhyme "London's Burning" and the monument designed by Sir Christopher Wren.
Fun fact: Only 6 people died in the Great Fire of London

Not only is The Riddle Game fun, but it is also educational. I would have supposed that far more than six people died in that calamity, though I feel that this requiescat in pace would be of little consolation to the six who died.

I transport without wings or wheels;
I love to help you wonder and roam.
I’ll often get you in the feels
And there’s many of me in your home.
What am I?

I am alluded to in a well-known idiom.
I am the subject of at least two nursery rhymes.
I appear in comic books.
I am a character in many sci-fi and fantasy novels.
