You can in fact also read an epic poem as a piece of literature rather than vanishing up your own ass trying to do deep mythological cultural analysis of them as some of the oldest texts of the Western canon.

I'd say that's how you should approach them the first time you read them before going deep into understanding it in its own cultural context and the greater context it has in the canon.
