One of my favorite aspects of Sandman was how it incorporated a number of classical myth into the story. Seeing people like Eve, Odin, Bast, the Fates, etc. But there were a lot of cool characters who I've always felt would have been perfect for the Sandman, but were never mentioned.

Joseph, from Genesis in the Bible, would have been nice to see. His power to interpret dreams might have made him a friend of Morpheus, or even Dream himself.

Yeah, and I am a little suprised that he doesn't mention the aboriginals in Australia, since their mythology is mainly based on dreams.

The Egyptians had some very interesting gods and I think I vaguely remember one cat god in Sandman, it's been a while. Maybe he thought they were played out or too distracting.
