Greek is the easiest pantheon to get info on be it from classical to contemporary literature, so I think I’m covered. I can even make a few recommendations:
-Ovid’s Metamorphoses(probably the best source for most of the Greek Gods’ adventures)
-Aeneid(follows the son of Aphrodite and his founding of Rome)
-D’Aulaires’ Book of Greek Myths(PG version of Greek mythology, has wonderful illustrations, don’t know if it’s still in print though)
-Sophocles(for Oedipus Rex and the story of his daughter Antigone; doesn’t mention a lot about Gods, but does mention a lot about Greek society wrapped in mythology)
-Homer’s Illad and Odyssey(I haven’t read the Illiad, but it’s an epic war in itself and caused by a foolish mortal and three goddesses; the Odyssey is man versus god, a must read)

Indian I’m also covered. My recommendation is the Ramayana. It showcases all sorts of demons, mythological creatures, powers and gods. The Bhagavad Gita shows an interesting side of Vishnu and is a part of the immense Mahabharata, which I definately intend to read. There are translations out for both, but it takes a good edition to properly convey the spiritual meaning, I think. I read the translation of Ramayana by Ramesh Menon. Supposedly, it’s one of the best, but the English is kinda plain and I had a hard time taking it seriously. It’s easy to read though. More importantly, there’s a story in it about Vishvamitra’s road to enlightenment(which is kinda funny).

For Chinese mythology, Journey to the West(also known as Monkey) is foremost in my mind, but I have yet to read or find it. It details the adventures of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King.

Personally, I’d like to find detailed books about Japanese and Egyptian mythology. Especially Egyptian, I’ve been trying to find a storybook or something similar to D’Aulaires’ Book of Greek Mythology or as encompassing as the Prose Edda or Volsung Saga, but all I have is the Egyptian Book of the Dead. I’ve had it for years and I’m still having trouble reading it.

As a final note, look for references of mythology in Dante Alghieri’s divine comedy(mostly in Inferno and Purgatory I think) and also Shakespeare’s plays. Shakespeare made only one original play, The Tempest. The others are merely reworkings of old tales and include brief mentions of deities or heroes from various pantheons. Classic example, the three witches in MacBeth. They are often associated with the three Norns or Fates from Norse and Greek mythology. They could be associated with something else as well. The god of marriage Hymen makes an appearance in As You Like it. Couldn’t say for sure what pantheon he comes from, but I imagine it’s Roman.

Speaking of which, the Romans have a few gods the Greeks don’t, such as Janus, though most others seem to be the same people. It’d be interesting to find a book on that. I’ll see what I can dig up.

In any case, thanks for the recommendation, I’ll see if I can find it.

Actually – interestingly enough – the term “waling” on somebody came from a western european duelling practice – they used to use whale-bone sticks for non-lethal dueling (or at least to reduce the lethality) so they were in effect whacking on each other with long sticks not too disimilar to the rattan used by the SCA for instance. It actually used to be spelled “Whaling” on each other as often as ‘waling’ and there wasn’t a standardized spelling till much later, long after the practice was long gone.
