I'm sure we've all read enough that we are fluidly stealing from a thousand myths with every keystroke.
I like grubbing around below the big myth level, hunting for the weird details of other times and faiths and places -- the little things might trick folks into believing they're really somewhere else. (Playing the willing suspension game).
(Another world should be at least as full of such surprises as another country, I think).
