Thank you for this pigture. My current reading list is all pre-christian european literature (I'm still on Homer) and I'm excited to get to the celts. I'll check these ones out. Anything similar for the slavs? Or do we know next to nothing about them?

These I posted are all I have. There's not much material available information on Slavic mtyhology in English, there is some in various Slavic languages.
What else do you have on your list?

My greek list was the same as yours pretty much.
For germanics I had Beowolf of course, and I was going to read some of Kevin Crossley Hollands collections of norse tales. I threw in Njals Saga, it's technicaly post-christian but it seems like the author didn't really give a fuck. Celtic, I had no idea but now I do.

Once I do a lot more reading I'll have more to contribute and discuss in a thread like this, but keep making them pls. Even a small amount of people interested in this would make it great.

Heres where I first saw it

I saw Raf Coilyear with his thrawin brow,
Craibit Johne the Reif and auld Cowkewyis sow
And how the wran come out of Ailssay,
And Peirs Plewman that maid his workmen fow,
Gret Gow makmorne and Fyn Makcoull and how
Thay suld be goddis in Ireland as thay say.
Thair saw I Maitland upon auld Beird Gray,
Robene Hude and Gilbert with the quhite hand,
How Hay of Nauchtoun flew in Madin land.

That chart is probably the first time I've seen Tolkien just outright recommended without the "I'm a fan so biassed" disclaimer.

Seeing Plato skipped in favour of Plotinus is pretty funny, but making a concise Greek list is hell, so whatever.

There's already a thread for that, /clg/, unless you mean super dead languages like Sumerian, which would fit better in /his/tory and humanities (linguistics) than /lit/erature.

So If I haven't heard of it it probably doesn't have an English translation or it doesn't exist right?
Like Hispania, Nuragic, Illyrian etc...
