Paul Beakley It’s important to remember that mythology and folklore are a culture telling you who they are and what they value, so you’d best believe those myths and tales because they are for and about all of us.

… for a great crossover of mythology and cinema, check out the movie The Killing of a Sacred Deer (by the same director as The Lobster). It’s thematically related to Agamemnon, Clytemnestra & Iphagenia from the Iliad and various Aeschylus and Euripides plays — a tale of sacrifice and revenge — the film is intimate, character driven, and tautly created with a small cast. The line delivery is stilted but has symbolism (not unlike a Greek play in performance). You could take some interesting cues from this theatrical piece reinterpreted cinematically to envision how to reinterpret both again into an RPG experience.
