Absolutely, I think most people think of Greek or Roman myths but I found it super interesting to learn some I hadn’t heard a lot about! If you’re looking for Celtic/irish mythology there is the Irish pagan school online and they have a list of genuine Irish authors and direct translations that I’ve read a few from and I’ve read a book called Irish myths and legend that I found at b&n (but I can’t find the author on the book?) and for Norse I’ve read Neil Gaiman’s Norse mythology
