    What an interesting question.  Probably need a definition of the the "myth".  It is a traditional story, but with an unknown author, supposedly with an historical basis, but used to explain some phenomenom of nature.  A myth usually extols the exploits of gods and heroes.  A collection of myths is caled mythology.   Myth is a fictitious story or unscientific account theory, or belief; or any imaginary person or thing spoken of as though it really existed.
    The means a myth is NOT true.  Therefore, all myths are UNtrue.

    Good answer. How much of the Bible is myth?

    There are many accounts in the Bible which I find fantastic and incredulous. My faith tells me God's word is true. I believe the Bible is God's word. I can't explain it and don't even try. It's just the way I roll.
    I've never thought of the Bible as a collection of myths, although those who do are certainly welcome to that opinion.
