Back in high school we had to read all of these passages out of the bible because "this stuff comes up all the time in literature!!1!". And I kept looking at the books I read and going, "um..." because it comes up a lot more rarely than mythology of various sorts.
Also, I avoid choosing my classes according to my writing interests because...well honestly, the ideas pop up anywhere. And I have enough trouble resisting writing fic of my Latin book without throwing in classes I know will give me *more* ideas. (classes I'm avoiding: history and government)
