I havnt come across any Norse myths just revolving around Freya. However a fair few contain Freya and a couple are quite heavily based upon her, one of these being when Od goes missing and Freya goes around the world looking for him. A few myths revolve around her Beauty and quite often baddies use her as ransom. Freya also has an eagle cloak which often has saved the lives of many a god or goddess.
The early people did not have as sophisticated of science studies as we do now, so they used myths as a way to explain the world around them.
What we call Greek myths is the ancient Greek religion. They believed in their gods as seriously as people today believe in the Christan god, or Allah, or the god(s) of other religions. Religious stories we do not believe in we call myths. Roman mythology and Norse mythology are other examples of religions we do not believe in any more.
