Thanks to A.D. Katzer who says:
 European legends that come to mind are William Tell, Beowolf, & Song of
Roland.  How about the Sendak versions of Grimm's folktales?  Norse Gods =
and
Giants by the D'Aulaire's would start you on European mythology

a contents list for world-wide mythologies (Hindu, Egyptian, etc.)
