[barbacoa] mythological and fictional is an old chestnut, and I still think there is a difference, even though it may be subjective and open to personal interpretation.
Summarising...
The answer is:
- abstract solely because fictional
- someone we might have been told about in childhood
- mythological
- a cartoon
- in a Disney/Pixar movie
- a hobbit
- a character in a movie or play
- originally in a book
- in a folk tale
- in the Bible
- Gilgamesh, Father Christmas, Flaubert's parrot, the Sandman, or the tooth fairy.
