No, articles should belong to whichever categories they reasonably fit into.
If an article fits into Mythology, and Greek Mythology, and Pre-Homeric Greek Mythology, and Athenian Mythology all at once, then it should be in ALL of those categories, because each is a different search.
And, presumably, in [[Category:Legends]], [[Category:Religion]], [[Category:Traditions]] (the supercat's of Mythology); in [[Category:Folklore]], [[Category:Culture]], and [[Category:Anthropology]] (the super-supercat's of Mythology); as well as in [[Category:Ancient Greece]], [[Category:Ancient Greek culture]], [[Category:Pre-Homeric culture]] and [[Category:Athenian culture]]; not forgetting [[Category:Literature]], [[Category:Ancient Greek literature]], [[Category:Athenian Literature]] and [[Category:Pre-Homeric literature]].
Yes, Mythology might encompass all of Greek Mythology, but So What? Someone looking for various mythological figures might grab Mythology first, and we're well served by having them do so and have an easier time migrating to the more specific area from there.
[[Category:Mythology]] will have many thousands of articles ([[Category:Mythology by culture]] has 73 subcategories!). I don't think anyone is well served with such a category.
