I wouldn’t expect any mythos to be perfect, because they have often been constructed quickly and hastily due to external pressures for national unity. Various countries that saw a surge for independence during the 19th century age of nationalism, often based their mythos on Romantic-era poetry that sometimes has aged well (e.g. the Kalevala), and sometimes has aged quite badly (a few Eastern European countries).
