mythologic
Relating to legends
Mythologic means relating to or characteristic of myths—traditional stories about gods, heroes, or supernatural beings that explain natural phenomena or cultural beliefs.
The word functions identically to mythological, though mythological is far more common: mythologic creatures, mythologic themes in modern cinema.
Both forms work as adjectives describing anything drawn from or resembling myth.
