If someone wants to write something involving greek mythology they should be forced to learn attic, koine, and modern greek, and write it in those three before translating into the intended language. If they mention Rome, they have to learn classical, ecclesiastical, and scientific Latin, as well as the Florentine (aka standard Italian) and Romanesco languages/dialects. It's quite simple.
