Why Greek, Roman and Norse mythologies are overused, where others rarely get used?

    Rule of cool.

    Other (Western) mythology just ain’t as cool. IDK why Western media doesn’t borrow from Eastern mythos tho. Japan has some gnarly mythology! But you really only tend to see Chinese and Japanese and other Asian/Eastern mythology in stuff from that part of the world. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Exposure is probably a reason, but you could create more exposure by, you know… Exposing your audience to it.
