What are some good books about the mythology of the ancient world?

Specifically... Egypt, Greece, and Rome.

Edith Hamilton‘s Mythology is a great summary of Greek and Roman mythology.

As far as introductory works go on Greek mythology, but not in the academic sense, I'd say give Stephen Fry's works a go: Heroes and Mythos.
