Some myths are a good basis to write poetry from...
http://www.mythweb.com/ God knows I have to agree, being such an obnoxious classical buff meself:
the genre's even leading me back into the land of rhyme and meter. Which, as a proper child of the twenty-first century (such a lie), I have been brought up to abhor,
and hence have little idea whether what I'm producing is worth more than the paper it's written on.
But yes, takes on mythology can be fascinating, especially more abstract ones. (Not that that's the type I write myself: so am not pimping.)
Character studies of the modern type, I have always found, are in their spareness an interesting juxtaposition with the richness of the myth.
