The BEST Greek Mythology Retellings I've Ever Read!

If watching The Odyssey sent you straight down a Greek mythology rabbit hole, I have some book recommendations for you. 🏛️📚 My obsession with Greek mythology started with Percy Jackson in elementary school, and apparently, I’ve never recovered. Now, years later, I’m still reading about the same dysfunctional family of gods, tragic heroes, questionable decisions, and women who deserved approximately 1,000 times better. Today I’m sharing my favorite Greek mythology retellings, from the book that single-handedly got me back into reading as an adult (and that I’ve reread more times than I can count) to some seriously underrated interpretations of the Trojan War. We’re talking beautifully written romances, heartbreaking tragedies, powerful women, and a healthy dose of Greek mythology chaos. 📚 BOOKS MENTIONED: The Song of Achilles — Madeline Miller Circe — Madeline Miller Ariadne — Jennifer Saint Elektra — Jennifer Saint The Silence of the Girls — Pat Barker Percy Jackson and the Olympians — Rick Riordan Medusa — Jessie Burton Whether you’re discovering Greek mythology for the first time after Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey or you’ve been obsessed with the Greek pantheon since Percy Jackson, there’s something on this list for you! 💬 Have you read any of these? Which Greek mythology retelling is your favorite? And please tell me what I need to add to my reading list next, because clearly I haven’t had enough of the Trojan War. If you enjoy book recommendations, fantasy novels, mythology deep dives, and occasionally getting far too emotionally invested in fictional characters, subscribe and stick around! #GreekMythology #TheOdyssey #TheSongOfAchilles #MadelineMiller #GreekMythologyRetellings
