Oh, and another good choice you forgot to mention (or more likely ran out of space in your poll) is Egyptian. Got some good stuff going on there as well.
Favorite weird tidbit about Egyptian Mythology - the Ancient Egyptians believed that semen was poisonous, in fact the words are almost identical in both hieroglyphic and English translation, so a lot of myths have to do with... well, semen. And, well, people's handling of it. Reading about it always reduces me to giggles.
But yeah, most of the ridiculous, kinky-sexy stuff happens in Egyptian (semen-fear), Norse (Loki, a MALE god, turning into a female horse then giving birth to Sleipnir), and Greco-Roman (how many animals does Zeus/Jupiter turn into to take advantage of women? I lost count).
OP - I voted Norse because I've enjoyed Norse set games more than Greco-Roman games, but storywise, I enjoy both equally. Being 3/4ths Italian I suppose I should have gone Greco-Roman but... meh. In Age of Mythology I always preferred the Norse.
Also, Helen was not born from an egg. Leto gave birth to two sets of twins the normal, human way. One set was Castor/Helen, fathered by Zeus, and the other was Pollux/Hermia (I think it was Hermia, anyway), fathered by her husband, whom she'd slept with before Zeus showed up a'la swan. So, Zeus got sloppy seconds.
