Buck up...

  1. In Liddell and Scott (courtesy of the Tufts Perseus site), I find

    μυριάς, άδος
    I. a number of 10, 000, a myriad, Hdt., etc.; indefinitely of countless numbers, Eur.:—when μυριάς, μυριάδες are used absol. of money, δραχμῶν must be supplied, Ar.; when of corn, μεδίμνων, Dem.
    II. adj. consisting of 10, 000, Aesch., Eur.

    So one could argue that the the adjectival use is well enough sanctioned.
