Try Okami to Shichinin no Nakamatachi. A hot pot of fairy tales combine into one anime.

Gankutsuou rises to mind as an excellent example, and the inspiration will be rather familiar to a western audience.
There are a TON of anime (especially in the last few years) based on light novels. The Twelve Kingdoms, To Aru, Haruhi, Baka to Test, etc etc. The upcoming Fate/Zero anime. There's probably a big list of them somewhere.
Both Ninja Scroll and Basalisk are both based on a novel by Futaro Yamada. Aoi Bungaku series is based on a number of Japanese literary works.

Baccano! and DRRR!Those are light novels only ever released in Japan, unfortunately.
Umm well Hellsing I guess is somewhat based off Dracula by Bram Stoker, extremely loosely mind you.

I'm surprised no one mentioned Nadia. Unless OP watched it before.
There's the upcoming Fate/Zero mentioned before.
Tower of Druaga, while not western-based, is something to watch.
The Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok.
Saint Seiya aka Knights of the Zodiac.
Guin Saga, which is Roman mythology.
Tears to Tiara, Arthurian Legend part of the Ulster Cycle (if you've played the VN, then move on, unless you really wanna watch it).
The Rangarok anime based off the mmo, which is based off, of course Norwegian mythology.
And then there's the offbeat, like Wolf and Spice.
Hope this helps.
