Ancient people did not treat history the way modern people do. They weren't interested in getting all the meticulous details correct (which, as you said, wasn't even possible). They often put a "legendary spin" on a historical event to drive home a point that related to their contemporary audience.
It's mythology in the sense that it's not necessarily literal history. You don't need to believe that a snake literally talked to Eve.
