I am currently reading I, Medusa by Anaya Gray. Love this book and want to learn more about mythology, more so Greek mythology. I just don’t want any informative “boring” texts. I want something that grips my attention and has a good story to tell. I would say, in other words, that I like fiction that teaches you something real. I’m open to any mythology books, but especially Greek!

Ooooh Madeline Miller. Circe.
Cassandra by Christa Wolf
Not exactly sure it’s what you’re looking for, but check out Till We Have Faces by CS Lewis. Required reading in high school, but I adore this book. I’ve reread it as an adult many times.
Consider *The king must die*. Mary Renault
*Clytemnestra* by Costanza Casati
Seconding *Circe* by Madeline Miller
*Lilith* by Nikki Marmery
I’m also going to throw in *The Memoirs of Cleopatra* by Margaret George. It’s not mythology but I think it still fits. Just be aware, it is a LONG book (almost 1000 pages) but I really enjoyed it.
Stephen Fry has a series of books based on Greek mythology, starting with Mythos.
