1st person point of view (POV) is from a character's point of view. A character that is involved within the story is the one telling the story. 1st person POV is generally considered to be the most biased of the POVs because the reader is only getting the story from one character's opinion. Ex: I saw all of my friends standing by the car. 2nd person POV means that the speaker addresses the audience directly. Second person is gennerally considered to be improper when writing, especially in formal essays. Ex: You saw all of your friends standing by the car. There are a few types of third person POV. The two most common forms of 3rd person POV are 3rd person Limited and 3rd person Omnicient. 3rd person limited is when there is an outside narrator (a speaker that is not part of the story) who can see what some, but not all of the characters are thinking and feeling. Usually, the speaker/narrator follows around one or a small group of characters around, but the reader only knows what the main character knows. This type of narrator cannot "see through walls." The name describes it well - the reader is limited to what the speaker is able to see. 3rd person omnicient can also be defined easier by looking at the name. The term "omnicient" means "God-like." This narrator knows and sees everything that all characters are able to see, think, feel and say. This is the most reliable narrator for a story because the reader is able to get all sides of the story.

The clues that you should look for when deciding if something is written in third person is if the characters are referred to as he, she, and it. If the author writes from the perspective of I or you, then it is first and second person, respectively.

Third person point of view is when a story is narrated by someone that does not appear in the story. There are 3 ways to write third person:

1. omniscient (most common): told by a person who can express the thoughts and feelings of any given character.

2. objective (least common): tells a story as a "camera". The point of view can't view characters' thoughts and feelings.

3. limited: story's narrator can see into ONE person's heart and mind.

A first person narrator is a character in the story (most often the protagonist or main character) and tells the story through his/her/its point of view. First-person narrators tend to begin sentences with I, and they typically tell the story in present tense (e.g. I say, "Good morning.") or past tense (e.g. I said, "Good morning.")

A third person narrator, however, has no role in the story and is simply telling it to the reader. Third person narrators have the most flexibility and can tell the story as it was seen through one or more different characters. They also rarely refer to themselves.

You can write a myth in both first person and third person. It depends on the style and perspective you want to convey in your story.
