please i need something other than pjo and song of achiles

Any of Mary Renault's books: The King Must Die, a story based around Theseus; The Bull from the Sea, based around the Minotaur bull jumping and Crete; The Funeral Games, Alexander the Great and his Empire and after. She is absolutely the best writer of Greek myths I’ve ever come across. Anything by her is thrilling and lets you enter the ancient Greek world. PS. I loved the song of Achilles.

Queer Heroes of Myth and Legend: A celebration of gay gods, sapphic saints, and queerness through the ages by Dan Jones is so good! I recommend it!

Anything by madelime miller

Lore by Alexandra bracken is super good and Lovely War is a romance historical fiction about WW1 but it's narrated by Greek gods and goddesses

Threads That Bind, by Kika Hatzopoulou! A really great YA fantasy.

circe, I just reviewed it lol

Ooooh yes, try The Queen's Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner! Not direct Greek mythology but she pulled from them a lot and is one of my favorite series of all time - make sure to read thru at least book 2 before making any judgements on the series, the first book becomes better the more you read!

Anything by Natalie Haynes! A Thousand Ships is my favourite book by her :)

Circe by Madeline miller, lore by Alexandra bracken and daughter of darkness by Katherine corr
