Τα είδη του μύθου, would that not mean "the kinds of myth" ?
I'm having the same trouble understanding that sentence as you do. Since we can't change the main sentences and only the translations, I feel like I should at least add "the kinds of myth" as a translation to "Τα είδη του μύθου", no?
How about των μύθων? This would reflect the plural of myths, wouldn't it?
Yes, that's an accepted translation. The translation here does match the sentence exactly, which is a bit odd. But, it's not too much of a catastrophy, since that alternative is included as well. ^.^

So, when translating from the English, could 'τα είδη τους μύθους' also be correct?
No. τους μύθους is the accusative case -- your phrase would mean "the kinds the myths", more or less. Just two unrelated noun phrases next to each other, not connected at all.
