Best Answer

The dictionary describes a parable as a narrative of imagined events used to illustrate a moral or spiritual lesson. However, it is also generally assumed to be actually identified as imaginary, as when Jesus told parables. A myth is a legend or imaginary tradition that contains references to a deity or the supernatural.

The story of Noah's Ark is not actually identified in the text as imaginary, so is not a parable. It is a myth.

Yes. A myth is a legend that contains a supernatural element. The biblical story of Noah's Ark was based on earlier Near Eastern legends and myths.
