Arnaud,
What Barry is saying is technically correct among people who study
"mythology" and History of Religions.
with fiction, which is where the problem comes. I run into this all the***
time. In the U.S. there are several very strong myths that we tell
ourselves, besides the Washington cherry tree incident.
The Big Bang, while a scientific statement, is actually a creation myth (don't start***
an argument over whether it is true or not! That is not the point).

Myths are very powerful, which is why they are used. If you follow
post-modernism, you might call them metanarratives.
And now, perhaps some Hebrew :)
