Myth is neither a fiction nor an imagination. It is simply another order of reality. Just as Science explores physical reality, myth explores and reveals to the initiate other realities that lie juxtaposed to the physical, running parallel as it were and yet interlacing and influencing the physical world.
Science itself will one day enter these parallel universes. It is already doing so to a certain extent and thereby assuming proportions of a myth. Some myths are symbolic realities, they are representative of occult and spiritual views and experience of Existence.
To the initiate the meaning is revealed intuitively and is often confirmed in his own experience. To the uninitiated and the crude physical mind tied to the sensory experience alone they appear as a mass of unintelligible mutterings of a primitive humanity.
