While certain parts of the Greek (and Roman) mythos are ok (such as Medusa and the reference to Pegasus), I honestly feel that trying to bring the actual gods and demigods would be a disaster. Same would be true for the Norse gods (again, 'small' things like a stray frost giant you could probably get away with, but stay away from Odin, Thor, Loki, etc).

There is enough Fairy Tale/Folklore Literature available without having to resort to mythology to get more material. We already know that the Princess and the Pea and the Frog Prince have yet to be tapped (at least significantly). And there are other tales by the Brothers Grimm, HCA, Perrault, and other lesser known authors that are just ripe for the picking, including some of Russian origin. And while most of the fairy tales are of European origin, there are some folk tales that are of American origin that could be brought in. (Sleepy Hollow, Rip Van Winkle, and other tales by Washington Irving; Maybe some of the old west folk tales like Paul Bunyon and Pecos Bill).
