Well, for one thing, myths are more traditional stories passed down from generation to generation than reliable historic resources, although it is accepted as history.
They did not, the idea of the dyed sails is from the Romantic era in European history, around the 1790-1850. There is no historical evidence that vikings dyed their sails or had helmets with horns, these are historical myths not fracts.
Using Viking myths as historical sources may present challenges due to their mythological and legendary nature. These myths were often passed down orally and may have evolved over time, making it difficult to determine their accuracy. Additionally, Viking myths were usually written down by Christian scholars who may have altered or interpreted them through a Christian lens, affecting the reliability of the information.
The strict definition of the word myth is "story." Some myths provide historical fact, and those that do arguably do intend to do so. But, not all do this.
It depends on if you are asking if they "have" myths or if they "had" myths. Also, you shouldn't really be talking about the Greek and Native American religions as "myths".

None of the characters in the Greek myths have lived in historical times. They are not in our chronology.
Historical accusations of Catholic cannibalism are largely sensationalized myths. The concept of cannibalism in Catholic rituals is not supported by credible evidence or historical records. These accusations have been debunked by scholars and historians as unfounded and based on misunderstandings of Catholic practices such as the Eucharist.
Myths and legends can seem very similar, however there are a few key differences. Myths give a religious explanation for something. A legend is a heroic tale and is often told as a historical event. In Greece and Rome both legends and myths involve deities.
Both those people were historical persons. Which myths about them did you mean?
