My first bookish memories are of holing up in my closet (my favorite reading spot) and reading my illustrated ancient Greek mythologies for hours. My fascination with the soap operaโworthy cast of goddesses and gods, heart-breaking tragedies, and fantastical shifts from human to beast and back again has only grown stronger over the years. Greek mythology books (retellings, translations, and commentary) continue to be some of my favorite reads.
If youโre still fascinated with Greek mythology books, or looking for Percy Jackson or Circe read-alikes, youโll find the best of them here for adults, teens, and kids alike.
Books are broken down by category: translations of the classics, fictional retellings, nonfiction commentary, as well as books for teens, middle graders, and kids. Iโve also only included one book per author to increase our scope here. All book descriptions come from Amazon.
