Circe, Ariadne, Phaedra. Doesn't matter. Every female retelling of a myth reads as if it's told by the exact same female. "Poor me. I'm far smarter than others treat me. Men are pigs. But look at his bulging muscles and blues eyes." Ironically, the best retelling from a female POV is C.S. Lewis's, Till We Have Faces. The rest is YA, and nothing but plot and over-explaining.
