Read Akutagawa's short stories! They are the closest thing to absolute perfection in that form!
Read instead of browsing /lit/.
How would it be different to base a book around a mythology instead of a set story?
For example, having a book be a pastiche of Greek mythology instead of a retelling of something specific like Hercules' labors or Odysseus's return home.
