Mythic history, you say? Can't go wrong with Glorantha, the setting where you can literally walk into the mythology and fiddle with the levers.

If you want to stick to earth, there are Ars Magica and Pendragon. Both of them do a great job of making their mythologized medival settings plausible, playable, and respectful. The former has a ton of books and elements contributed by enthusiastic historians, while the latter is the masterpiece of the legendary Greg Stafford. Finally, both games are standout examples of theme driven rules.
