Looking for something that’s either Greek mythology (or similar) that’s very literary and/or mystical (something a little more niche/complex than The Song of Achilles, with respect) OR just Mediterranean antiquity vibes – think the movie La Chimera in book form. Lately I’ve been reading a lot of stuff published 1950s-1970s, NYRB editions, and modern classics so anything in these categories in the setting described would be perfect. Thanks!!!

The King Must Die by Mary Renault.
Till We Have Faces by C. S. Lewis
I highly recommend Jean Anouilh’s Antigone, it’s brilliant!
