Why Greek, Roman and Norse mythologies are overused, where others rarely get used?

      As a neurospicy westerner, learning about Chinese mythology has been endlessly entertaining. So different than mythologies that have been exhaustively explored in western media. I even homebrewed a TTRPG that my friends and I are playing that is set in ancient China. I’ve learned a little Mandarin along the way!
