Sorry if this has already been asked - a quick search didn't turn up anything obvious.
The Universal Mythic Path ability Divine Source grants SLAs corresponding to domain spells no greater than your mythic tier; i.e., at tier N, you can cast spells of level N or lower as a SLA. Full text:

Divine Source (Su): You can grant divine spells to those who follow your cause, allowing them to select you as their deity for the purposes of determining their spells and domains. Select two domains upon taking this ability. These domains must be alignment domains matching your alignment if possible, unless your alignment is neutral. You grant access to these domains as if you were a deity. Creatures that gain spells from you don't receive any spells per day of levels higher than your tier; they lose those spell slots. In addition, you can cast spells from domains you grant as long as their level is equal to or less than your tier. Each day as a spell-like ability, you can cast one spell of each level equal to or less than your tier (selecting from those available to you from your divine source domains). If you're a cleric or you venerate a deity, you may change your spell domains to those you grant others. At 6th tier and 9th tier, you can select this ability again, adding one domain and two subdomains (see the Advanced Player's Guide) to your list each time and adding their spells to the list of those that you can cast.
What is your caster level, for the purposes of determining spell effects and overcoming spell resistance? Some candidates that come to mind:
1. Your character's total hit dice;
2. The lowest (or highest?) level at which a cleric could cast spells of at most that level;
3. Twice the character's mythic tier.
I understand that (3) and (1) should generally be the same... unless the Mythic Paragon feat is meant to work with it, which seems like it might be too strong:
Quote:
Mythic Paragon (Mythic)
Your mythic power is even more potent than that of most other mythic beings.
Benefit: Your tier is considered 2 higher for determining the potency of mythic abilities, feats, and spells. This doesn't grant you access to mythic abilities or greater versions of mythic spells at a lower tier than you would normally need to be to get them, nor does it grant you additional uses of mythic power or adjust the dice you roll for your surge.
EDIT: In another thread, the consensus seems to be that Mythic Paragon does let you use higher-level SLAs when combined with Divine Source, which is already pretty powerful. Is that intended?
