Hello..I'm looking for any anime/manga/light novel/etc that has mythology in it.It should have something in English.I'd prefer for it to be complete but that isn't required. j3tp

it would be good if there's a good anime adaptation so I can convince my friend to watch it too since he doesn't read as much (although personally I prefer reading).

I'd prefer Egyptian, Greek/Roman, or Norse mythology, but others would be fine too.

Bonus if you can find me one that has Native American (American Indian? I honestly don't know what the PC term is anymore since even during my high school years it changed three or four times) folklore but i doubt that. xD

Thanks..

Summary:
-Norse, Egyptian, or Greek/Roman Mythology based Anime/Manga
-English translation available
-Complete is good; at least not something from the latest season with only a few eps out please

Thank you.

I'm not sure how accurate it is, but G (KOIKE Keiichi) features Amazonian legends. I recommend it regardless.

Also, some category searches that may help you (all with at least one release, hentai excluded):

Greek mythology
Norse mythology
Mythology in general

An interesting request, but sadly I don't have much to contribute:

Munakata Kyouju Denkikou and associated series might have some of what you're looking for; I think mostly Egyptian and Greek/Roman.

Saint Seiya - Saintia Shou is in progress, though the original series has only random chapters out)

Ragnarök: Into the Abyss -- Norse

Seconding Olimpos -- Greek and Roman

Edit: Just noticed that you've also okayed mythology from other parts of the world. In which case I have a few more:

Japanese and Chinese --
Mononoke Soushi

Korean --
Banhonsa

Mixed --
Shin Pet Shop of Horrors

Here are a few Celtic ones, warning, they are old-style shoujo art and incompletely scanlated though complete:

Alfheim no Kishi (Even though Alfheim is Norse, what I've read so far of the series seems more Celtic)
