I use "myth" primary to mean "Cosmic level tales told in an epic style" rather then "untruth". Anyone who has the talent can rewrite the latest theory of physics that way and then it would be a "myth" even if it is true. Often a "myth" will have some figurative truth in it.

For instance, the story of the two first Klingons sacking the heavens told at Jadzia and Worf's wedding was a myth and not all that bad a myth at that. It does not particularly matter whether they did or not from the point of view of the story because no power in the universe can stop the beating of two Klingon hearts, not even curmudgeonly mothers-in-law.
