i know there's a lot of other archetypes there's one for everyone. there's a few series that write about greek mythology but i don't know if it's actually considered mythology. Percy Jackson & the Olympians and a few books by a lady called Sherrylon Kenyon

Don't forget about the Puer Aternus (sp?). The Jungian archetype of the dude who won't (can't) grow up, the Peter Pan-type. Lotsa those all over, no?! ;-)
