The Columbia Guide to Standard American English

myriad (adj., n.) 
 
As a noun, myriad means "ten thousand," but its most frequent sense is "any very large, indefinite number of persons or things," as in 
We could see a myriad of stars 
or 
We could see myriads of them. 

The plural is hyperbolic but Standard. The Standard adjective myriad simply means "innumerable": There were myriad stars in the sky.


　Such plot as there is concerns two kindly spirits (Ganz and Sander), posted to contemporary Berlin, who encounter [a] myriad of mortals, including an ageing writer blighted by memories of a devastated Germany; actor Peter Falk, on location shooting a film about the Nazi era; and a lonely trapeze artist, with whom Ganz falls in love, thus prompting his desire to become mortal at last.
