I prefer the ones that are rooted in history, more than pure mythology. Notably the Iliad.

I dislike the myth of Orpheus, who got set up with the cruel rule of not looking back at his love when exciting Hades. It's so unfair the way she got taken from him and the gotcha way he loses his chance of being reunited with her.
