You may try books by Dumézil (if you can read French), articles by Edgar Polomé and relevant entries in Mallory & Adams's _Encyclopaedia of Indo-European Culture_. I have to warn you, however, that myths are harder to reconstruct with any confidence than features of the IE languages. Indeed, the borderline between comparative mythology and mythmaking is dangerously thin.
