All of Mary Renault’s books are wonderful.
Thanks Kathy, are there some specific ones that you really adore ?
I was going to say this….my favorites are The King Must Die and Bull from the Sea ( Theseus), and Fire from Heaven and the Persian Boy (Alexander).
@Priyanka I loved The King Must Die
Stephen Fry has just retold the Greek myths in Mythos. Very good.
I second!
Ordering because of the suggestions and specifically due to the lovely cover. ?
Sherrilynn Kenyon Dark Hunter series is amazing and has a bunch of Greek and Atlantian mythology in them.
Go back to the source material and read the Odyssey and the Iliad.
Source material ? ?
Not a student of mythology.
Just an admirer.
Ancient Greek epic poems by Homer
These are great books to LISTEN to: they come from an oral tradition, so you can pretend you are listening to Homer himself!
CS Lewis Until We Had Faces.
I’m still not sure I understand all of it, but I do love it.
Mythology by Edith Hamilton is the best.
Edith Hamilton’s Mythology is a must-have reference if you’re seriously into Greek mythology. If you need just an overview, D’Aulaires’ Book of Greek Myths is good.
Following ?
Metamorphica by Zachary Mason is interesting.
Following 🙂
