It seems, according to the major dictionaries I checked (perhaps the Urban Dictionary would work better for you), that the definition of myth is intrinsically linked with: A) a belief, which is inherently in itself, and B) false or imaginary ideas, stories and beliefs.
YWIA.

what do you think language is, son?
mythical (in this context, one could say) = relating to myth, or the subject of a myth. i think we'll agree the examples mentioned qualify.
and yet, if something is the subject of a myth (implying that some/many/most people think it doesn't exist), does that mean it necessarily does not exist?
address that, and speak of nothing else.

just go to dictionary.com, although i don't think you'll need to...you've probably seen the same ones that i have. you're being a bit obnoxious, even for me. try not to be a huge cunt, it's annoying. what is YWIA? no one here knows what that shit is, wrong board.
and the concept of belief is fine...we can do with that. what you believe and what is real are not necessarily the same. you are limiting the word for your convenience. i'm just pointing out an obvious line of reasoning.

You're obfuscating things. A belief is just that -- something unfounded. A belief. A belief is not dependent on truth. One can believe anything one wants to; this has nothing to do with truth. It has everything to do with belief. Myth is bound to belief.
I suspect you're tying this in with the word belief too strongly, thus associating this in with similar idea of religious belief, wherein such people have some belief that they spend their entire lives worshipping and stuff, arguing beyond any doubt in their minds that it is indeed true. However, this exactly concretes the definition of myth with belief and a lack of truth. HTH.
A while ago I was working in this Eastern European city...
So I go on this tour with a bunch of middle-aged artists.
We went to this park that the guide said that the park was filled with little fairies (think Tinkerbell, not Pick3).
I stood there and watched as all these 40-somethings were running around the park giddily.
They were sure that they were chasing fairies.
I still think they are dumbasses.
I didn't see a fuckin fairy.
