This is a "mythical" five letter word.
It has 4 numbers in it.
All the 4 numbers are different.
All the letters in the word are part of those numbers. (no extra letters)
Hint
Think all different numbers, just not Roman Numerals

A playful little possibility is a
pixie which is pi-x-i-e
One option is
MILD
which contains the numbers
M (1000), I (1), L (50) and D (500) in Roman numerals.
If we allow numbers from other languages, we have the clearly mythical
Poseidon
which contains the numbers
po (5 in Paraguayan Guarani)
sei (6 in Italian)
D (50 in Roman numerals)
on (10 in Turkish)
I believe it's
DeVIL - deeply rooted in mythology, D = 500, e = euler's number (never said they have to be rational!), V = 5, IL = 49
I realise it is not a mythical word, but this fits:
TENON
The numbers would be TEN, ONE (reversed), NONE (also reversed) and NON (bit suspect)
A five letter word which could work, in line with jafe's original answer is
MIMIC = MI + M + I + C, four different values in Roman numerals.
Other possibilities
VIVID = VI + V + I + D
LIVID = LI + V + I + D
CIVIL = CI + V + I + L
