I mean I don’t know how true these books are to Greek Mythology, but the Half Blood series by Jennifer L Armentrout is pretty good in my opinion. A lot of people say the first book is a lot like the Vampire Academy, and I see some resemblance, but this books are awesome!
I appreciate all of your suggestions. I’m gonna do some research first to know further those books and also the availability here in my area. Thank you all.
The Song of Achilles by Madeleine Miller. The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood. The Memoirs of Helen of Troy by Amanda Elyot. Pat Barker has a new one coming out soon called The Silence of the Girls and I can’t recommend Circe by Madeleine Miller highly enough! ?
Circe is about the first witch called Circe who was banished to an island by her family. Both by the same author but I slightly preferred Song of Achilles as it is sadder I suppose. Anyway, both beautifully written and highly recommended.
Did you read the full length poem of The Odyssey or a child’s version of it? The Iliad also has a children’s book. If you’ve not had the opportunity to read them in full, you might enjoy revisiting them.. and you are welcome for the suggestion.

Any of the dark hunter books By SheriLynn Kenyon….they are like para romance mixed with greek mythology….always a good read if thats your thing
And by mixed I mean the gods and myths are part of the story line as well….

wow. thank you miss Linda. The song of Achilles caught my attention. Quite interesting though.
@Chii I actually preferred it to Circe!
Why? I have no idea what is Circe all about.

The Iliad and The Odyssey
What a wonderful book. I’ve already read this when I was in 6th grade. Thanks by the way Ma’am.

The Iliad is my favourite book of all time ??
Mary Renault has written a couple of books about Theseus and The Golden Fleece by Robert Graves is pretty awesome?
Mythos by Stephen Fry is a great retelling of the Greek myths.
