Mythical comes from the late Latin 'mythicus ', which means legendary or of myth and imagination. Something which is mythical is almost too good to be true, and suggests that it is to be disbelieved (even if it is true). Often times this is used as a compliment: “That team was mythical!” while other times it's too fantastic to be believed: “The gods had a mythical battle in the sky, which gave us the mountains and rivers!”

Religion is often based upon mythical events, and those in turn are often referenced in popular culture, carrying with them allegorical meanings (morality lessons through story telling).
