    I would love to see African, any Indengious, Central Asia, and Eastern Europe. What do all these mythologies have in common? They’re not Anglo Saxon white.

    The world was colonized by Western European countries who exported their preferred mythology.

    Now, Greek, Roman, and Norse mythologies are now the default mythologies.
