    Basically, I'm asking for any good Documentaries about various Myths. In particular, ones that don't just focus on one Myth or Mythical figure, but several. (From the same culture or otherwise.)

    I've searched for a show like this, but haven't really been able to find one. Where each episode focuses on one myth or something like that. So I was hoping someone might know one.

    As far as documentaries go, I'm not too interested in African, Native American or Chinese myths. The former two because each tribe is likely to have their own myths and legends and the former, simply because they don't interest me as much.

    History Channel's Clash of the Gods is a series about mythical figures. The first seven episodes are about Greek mythical beings. The latter three focus more on Germanic myths (Beowulf, Tolkien's inspirations, and Thor).

    This looks good, thank you. Really, most of mythology knowledge comes from books, but I've been on a documentary binge lately. Most of what I can find I on just one legend per documentary, which I don't particularly mind, but I can find tiresome.
