It would be difficult to list all of the works attributed to Botticelli here, one of his most recognizable paintings is 'The Birth of Venus' circa 1482, approximately 5 feet 8 inches by 9 feet 1 inch. Between 1481 and 1483 Botticelli and several other famous artists were summoned to Rome to decorate the walls of the newly completed Sistine Chapel.

Why do very few of Botticelli's mythical paintings exist?

Before Botticelli's time paintings had religious subjects or were portraits. That is what people commissioned from artists. The interesting thing is NOT that there are FEW mythological paintings, but that there were some commissions for mythological subjects. And from then on those subjects grew more popular. It was not like today: an artist paints what he likes and tries to sell it. In renaissance times you went to an artist and asked him to paint what you want. Also, a radical monk named Savanarola burned 'earthly pleasures' including some of Botticelli's work. For more information on Savanarola's influence, I'd go to the link below.

By painting mythological subjects, instead of only religious ones. He did not do this on his own accord, though. Those paintings were commissioned by the Medici family and others. By blending the two different philosophies, he created a new concept(Neoplatonism), which became the central focus of many paintings. More information on Neoplatonism can be found at: link below.
