[fungi from Yuggoth]

Warlike Menelaos, you might like to try some of the African mythologies/epics. Try the famous Ethiopian mythology tale the Kebra Nagast (Book of Kings) or the Malian Epic of Sundiata, both of which are available in English translation. There's also a whole bunch of great Sudanese folklore/legendry, some of which ties into ancient Egyptian mythology (the Emprie of Kush/Sudan was closely related to the Empire of Egypt in ancient times). Unfortunately I haven't read much of that so I can't really recommend specific works.
