In your opinion, what nation had the greatest mythology?
Based on narrative and aesthetics, I'd say Rome.
Obviously Greece and Rome. Contrarians are going to cite some more "exotic" one, but let them.

rome if you want to talk about founding myth, national/tribal myth. the link with troy and aeneas, the descent from mars, the twin brothers,... is beautiful and strong.
but if you are talking about purely mythology the hellenes reign supreme.
the iliad is in my opinion still a work of absolute perfection.
also the enormous amount of it makes it incredible. the iliad, the odyssey, metamorphosen compiled by ovid, Oedipus tragedy, the argonauts, Heracles, perseus, theseus, the titans, the gigants,...

Easily the Jews. Half of America still believes in their mythology and founding myth, you can't say that for any other group.

If by half of America you mean half of the world, then yeah.

the levant
it influenced
- greeks
- romans
- jews
Germany is pretty cool. I went on a month long hiking trip and brought the brothers grimm with me. I'd say it's closer to folklore than mythology but that's kind of saying pepsi and coke are leagues apart.
The Greeks, obviously. Romans just stole their shit and renamed it but they kept kissing greek ass until the late empire. Greek mythology has a deeper philosophical meaning than the folklore and pantheons of the time.
