Picture the shelf where a culture keeps its oldest stories — gods, heroes, monsters, things too big to have happened on a normal afternoon. Mythic points at that shelf. Sometimes it points literally, at what really lives there; sometimes it lifts something real onto the shelf to say how big it has become.
「mythic」的畫面可以想成一個放老故事的架子。上面擺的是神、英雄、怪物。全部都大到不像發生在平常的某個下午。這個字就是指著那個架子。有時候是照字面指，說某樣東西本來就住在上面。有時候是把真實的人事物搬上去，藉此說它有多大。
From the word’s history
Wiktionary dates it to the 1660s, from Latin mȳthicus or Ancient Greek muthikós, and analyses it as myth + -ic — literally 'of myth'.
來源資料把它追到一六六○年代，來自拉丁文 mȳthicus 或古希臘文 μυθικός，結構上等於 myth 加 -ic。字面意思就是「屬於神話的」。這正是它第一個、也最字面的用法。
