I know one so far, Legend of Arthur and the Roundtable, but I want to learn about more and listen to more for inspiration and the story telling potential it holds.

Any suggestions would be great

Manowar's The Triumph Of Steel is a double album, but the first disc is a 28-minute song titled "Achilles, Agony and Ecstasy in Eight Parts."

Stretching the definition of "mythical," there's Gojira's From Sirius To Mars and Jon Anderson's Olias Of Sunhillow. Both are about space travel. Neither is science fiction. Their genres are... not similar.
