Shinto just because it's underutilized in comics today.

But to the answer the question, the Olympians. Zeus needs some powerful showings in Marvel (and DC).

@hart7668: DC Zeus has had some good showings, unfortunately don't got any scans or name of issues. :/ I keep lookin though, am wanting to make a respect thread for him.

Anyway I prefer Greek.

Norse. They literally fight, eat, and drink and sleep all the time.

Greek, without a question. Personally I find the stories a lot more compelling, the names a lot easier to remember and pronounce, and knowing Greek mythology tends to be a lot more useful in everyday life than knowing Norse.

I like Greek more in terms of actually mythology. Norse is pretty lame imo. Don't like Vikings.

I'm Scandinavian, so Norse. Plus the afterlife is potentially a lot better than anything you could hope for in Greece. Oh and the Norse Pantheon isn't populated by inbreeding a-holes :)

When I was a kid, it was Greek, but I think I lean toward Norse now.

All around mythology I'd have to say Norse. I enjoy the various deities more and I appreciate their views of the afterlife and battle.

However I love the greek monsters far more. I do love Fenrir and the Nidhogg, but it's not as diverse as the hydra, nemean lion, manticore, centaurs, and all the others. Probably because Greece was on the Mediterranean and ended up incorporating aspects of other mythologies into their monster line up.

When people think of myth, they think Greek. One of my majors is classical studies and we explored a lot of it through history, literature and art. It's still relevant today as it was all those years ago. But Norse myth is just as compelling and wonderful as Greek.
