Knowledge skills for Mythology

If you want him to have Unusual Background give him expertise in something besides Classical and/or Germanic Myth. Those two dominate so overwhelmingly that it would be fairly routine to guess someone knows something about it if he is an intellectual even though Classics no longer have such an overwhelming reach in school.

Celtic is a good one. It wouldn't surprise anyone but would be more unusual than Germanic and Classical. You can go farther afield with Slavic, Oriental, African, American Indian, Sanskrit, etc.
