Well everything would deffinitely be more interesting... but I wouldn't say it would be better. Although it's true you couldn't deny the existence of gods and godesses.

I'm pretty sure the Maenads also ripped people apart. It would be less fun hanging around with them when you were being torn to shreds.
Yeah, I can see how that may put a crimp on your day, but at least you go out in style.
Wait what? Where did this quote come from?

There was a Greek God of getting people wasted and then doing them. I'd probably be him or hang around with him a lot.
so he could do you? now that would be disturbing...

I was more thinking of being a mythological wingman...

Damn I cant think of any Oblivion bot speech.

OT: If it was Greek mythology I would be a Hermes worshipper. Why? He is the patron God of theives and conmen.

It'd be interesting, except we'd have to deal with not being able to travel much since there would be beasts in the air and sea. And we'd live in constant fear everyday going out since something could easily kill us at whim.

That would be pretty awesome.

Especially awesome would be watching Zeus fight Thor.

You have to die as a hero in battle, than you get to stay in vallhalla untill the end of the world where you fight off Loki and his fiendish army. Norse>Greeks

Are we talking one specific mythology or all of them? Because having all of them around would be really crowded. They'd all be fighting for the prime real estate. Not to mention several ancient cultures have apocalypse myths. The Aztec and their constantly dying suns, the Norse and their Ragnarok...
But I can see them taking interesting views on atheists..."so you think lightning is just a stream of electrons do you? Have at you!"

Re-read the eight line of the starting post.

"of it, the kind of mythology you'd want, and what you would do with your life."

I wouldn't like some random thing coming round asking me riddles then turning me to stone if i'm wrong or if you go out to the forest you might come across a goddess taking a bath and then turns you to a deer so when your hunting dogs see you they kill you.

But yeah I guess it would be cool:)

Hmm maybe it's because the egyptians weren't as awesome as any of the other civilzations with good mythology since the greeks fought epic wars as did the vikings but the egyptians were known to lie down on the battlefield so death came quicker...pussys:p

What does their conduct in battle have to do with their gods (apart from the obvious lack of Valhalla)? I thought the question was about which you'd like to exist not which you'd go to war for.

It'd be great. Imagine the Christian mythology! The angels wouldn't be the pretty-boy angels we're used to, they'd be macho and so scary that, like in the Bible, they'd have to actually tell people not to be scared of them. And they'd have flaming swords!
