Besides reading the actual mythology (at least what we still have of it), I don't have much to offer except one thing:
An author integrated aspects of Sumerian mythology, including their creation story, into the plot of one of my favorite books. He frames their creation tale into more of the passing of information, data, and knowledge than simply yet another story of creation from yet another ancient culture. Yes, it is a fiction book, and the mythos may be somewhat altered (I'll admit I'm not intimately familiar with Sumerian religions to know what may have been changed and how much, but critics to laud the author on his historical accuracy in that aspect of the book), but I think there may be some elements of looking at the tale in a somewhat different light.
