Returning We Hear The Larks is mainly Greek myth based and very good
All of the songs about Stag O Lee are good

Here's the metal. There's a lot more I don't know and I'm probably forgetting stuff I do know.
>Symphony X - The Odyssey
This is THE myth/legend song as far as I'm concerned. A monumental 24 minutes of progressive, neoclassical metal complete with beautiful, complex orchestration, telling the story of Odysseyus through words and sound.

>Iron Maiden - The Flight of Icarus
Self-explanatory, although not that lyrically sharp. I first thought to post Rime of the Ancient Mariner, but I thought that might not have been mythological enough, since it's based on an English epic poem and not any type of religious/folkloric belief or story. At least you can be entertained by how horribly the video's aged if you don't like it.

>Amon Amarth - Pretty much everything
Amon Amarth makes music pretty much exclusively either about Norse mythology or romantic depictions of vikings.
This song has some nice info about the concepts behind the song along with some cool fantasy art, but I think it's vital to understand the importance of dying in battle, since it was thought of as the only way to reach Asgard.

>Eluveitie - Your Gaulish War
I'm sure they have songs that are more mythological, but I can't think of any. This song is about the conflict between the Muslims and Roman Christians and the indigenous European peoples.

>Chthonic - Blooming Blades
I don't claim to know anything about Taiwanese mythology, but given how many references to a "ghost king" I see in the lyrics, I'll bet on it. Similarly to Eluveitie, their music has to do with ethnic pride and subjugation, and features ethnic instruments (that thing that sounds like a female voice is actually a bowed instrument of some kind). This album at least, also has a version with the vocals in Taiwanese.

>Nile - Everything
Nile as far as I can tell is almost completely about Egyptian mythology, although this song is Islamic. I don't really listen to them enough to make good recommendations. He growls "allah ackbar!" in it. Nice.

>Burzum - Daudi Baldrs
The only instrumental album I can think of. About the death of Baldrs (Norse). It's the album he made on a synthesizer in prison (I think he might have made another there as well). Not actually metal but by a metal musician. There's some link psychologically between liking melodic metal especially, and having an interest in mythology, I think.

>Protest The Hero - Wretch
This and other songs on the album have to do with how the decline of godess worship and the simultaneous rise of male-centric culture (supposedly).
