absolutely. variety makes the world go round!
one thing to remember about mythology is that the greeks never viewed their stories as myth. it was their religion and the stories answered fundamentasl questions for them. obviously, judeo-christian mythology is viewed as the 'word of god', by many, even today.
one culture's truth, is another culture's myth.
