It is a good moment to learn mythology. There are many ressources that explain mythology. The first one I had stumbled on is George O'Connor serie on Greek Mythology. It is going on and the nest god getting the treatment is Hermes:

I still follow up that serie. I think there will be 12 books in total, so, it is near the end. I only say it is a good introduction to Greek mythology.
Another good introduction to the realm of mythology is Crash Course. They had started one on mythology:

The link lead to the preview. They covered a brief into, creation myths and they just entered pantheon. They cover a lot of various mythologies. It is good to have an overview of mythology, It had expanded the mythologies that I was a bit less knowledgeable.
what would be nice is to have more infos on less known mythologies like Japan. It is one place I would like to learn more. The mythology I know more is the Greek/Roman one. I know a little bit less Norse mythology, some bits on the MesoAmerican and Indian ones. I know very little of the pantheons found in Asia. I don't know if there is an introduction to less known mythology but it would worht the effort.
