An allegory refers to the use of symbols. Symbols can be seen, and are used to represent things that can't be seen or can't be done. But the use of symbols makes it look like these particular things can be seen or done.
For example, God appears to Adam and Eve as a formless, invisible Voice. The Voice actually represents the all powerful God, who sees but can't be seen, speaks and can be spoken to. In the way of another example, the sinister serpent speaks in Genesis 3:1, 4-5. But slithering snakes don't speak. In Genesis, the slimy serpent actually represents the Devil, who has the power of speech.

Generally myths are religious stories told to explain an event that otherwise cannot be explained. Every Greek myth explained an event, either in moral or in allegory. Those events can all be explained now, so the reason behind the story is generally no longer relavent. Example: The story of Apollo and Daphne was an allegory for why the dew disappeared when the sun rose. We know now that the reason is evaporation, so the whole reason for the story is now moot. Religion was really just a means to explain the unexplainable for those people. Since we have a deeper understanding of the world, it could be argued that their myths are obsolete.
