Greek mythology is being retold all the time in film and television, so why not have book retellings? That is what we’ll explore in this post. In the last couple of years, there have been so many authors who have tapped into this genre and it’s amazing to see.
So, this book post will be structured a little differently than normal as we’ll be looking at Greek mythology retellings that are both adult and young adult. This will not involve crossovers with other mythologies, except Roman. Also, if it’s a series of books all will be grouped together. We also have to stress that this is just a sample of books as there are so many.
As always, this list will contain UNSPONSORED links to Amazon products.
