   I guess it would depend on the type of myth. If you're studying the   
   hero myth, then I would suggest "The Hero with a Thousand Faces" by   
   Joseph Campbell.   
      
   If you're looking for a general introduction to Greek and Roman   
   mythology, then Edith Hamilton's "Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods   
   and Heros" would be a good standby.
