: Old Gods? Please don't tell me you have

First, the Old Gods are straight out of Bungie lore. AKA the Dark Gods. And if you buy Principia Mythica, also AKA (yes I know that's redundant) the Spider Gods.
Secondly, Greco-Roman and Norse myths are strikingly similar. In fact most major mythological pantheons I have found are telling nearly the exact same story (not just morals, but characters and plot), simply with different names substituted and different bits and pieces missing or distorted. The only bits I've yet to nicely weave in are Egyptian and other middle-eastern mythologies, which all have some nice resemblance but has been rewritten too many times over too many kingdoms and too many warring tribes to make nice sense out of; and Celtic, South African, and North American myths, which are much more legends, fables, and monster epics than cosmic mythology like the rest. Oh, and I've yet to fit in the significance of Mayan cosmology either.
I've got Greco-Roman, Norse, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Polynesian/Maori, Incan, and even Judeo-Christian/Muslim mythologies.
I'm sure I've rambled about it at some point before, so I'll spare you all unless you really want to know the Tru7h.
