The stories of the Greek and Roman gods qualify, Astrology qualifies, Bigfoot stories qualify, Area 51 stories qualify; or perhaps your were thinking of urban myths, most of which circulate as email warnings that people send to their whole mailing lists, and those people send to their whole mailing list, etc. I get these from time to time from people I know- people who should know better.
Urban myths can also consist of rumors gone viral, usually about celebrities, especially a disease they've contracted or their death. The growth of the internet has propagated these myths exponentially.
One of the longest term urban myths that I know belongs to the Proctor and Gamble's 'man in the moon' trademark logo. The link below tells about the current version that the logo as a connection of the company to satanism. Around 1960 (that's fifty years ago), I heard this myth, except the logo represented the Communist control of the company and in between, the story was that the crescent moon represented the company's support for radical Muslim causes. The truth is that this exact trademark was adopted by Proctor and Gamble in 1851 when companies at that time knew that many customers could not read, the logos made products recognizable to anyone.
An example of a myth is the story of Persephone and Hades in Greek mythology, where Persephone is taken to the underworld by Hades, leading to the changing of seasons. The myth explains the cycle of nature and the passage of time through the characters and their actions.
There is Mylothigical creatures such as the Minotaur, there is greek mythology which includes the Greek Gods, (which are myths), and there is the greek mythlogical creature, the Pegasaus
