Perhaps I'm mistaken, but it seems that greco-roman mythology has been preserved to the present day much better than celtic or norse mythology.

My initial thought was that this was due to those respective cultures literary, but as far as i am aware we have few to no original documents from antiquity, and most everything that we do have are medieval and renaissance copies.

So why did those myths get preserved while we only have bits and bobs of most other mythologies? Did they consider greco-roman gods some how "less pagan" than those of the britons, irish, norse, slavs, rtc?
