Dorleac,
I think the use of "mythical" is fine in this context. Mythical can be used as a synonym for "legendary". See here:

If Karen Blixen were around, we could ask her.......
Legend and myth are synonyms. But a mythical rifle is one that doesn't actually exist. Whereas a legendary rifle and cartridge combination is one that is as famous as legend.
There is a gap in meaning there that you could squeeze a volume of Shakespeare's sonnets into if you soak it for long enough.
