For secondhand sources, check out theoi dot com. Absolutely amazing work.

Though not strictly Greek, I can also recommend Metamorphoses by Ovid (Mandelbaum) and Genealogy of the Pagan Gods by Boccaccio.

Erwin Rohde- Psyche (the best in my opinion), Mircea Eliade- History of Religious Ideas (a few chapters about greeks), Jean Pierre Vernant- Myth and Society in Ancient Greece, Rene Girard- Violence and Sacred.
Also, reading Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides will provide a better undersanding of the greek mithology.
