Hello everyone!
I love reading about different mythologies, whatever it’s Greek mythology , norse , Irish or anything else , I learn all I can about them and then look for new books that gives a fresh take and add depth to the characters and their journals.
For example I love the way that Circe explored a different side of Greek mythology and added so much to an existing story.
Although my favorite so far has been the ragnorak era by Mark Larkins which u belive is an underrated gem. I really loved the way that he used so many of norse myths and the way that he showed different sides of characters like Odin , Loki and Thor.
Paradise lost is a bit different but anything similar to that also qualifies and I would love to know if anyone has read something similar. I found the way that he used the biblical characters fascinating.
Thank you !

Votan by John James
Macunaima by Mario de Andrade is a Brazilian classic about a boy who is half-Amazonian god. The story itself is a blend of different legends and myths from Amazonian folklore.
Stephen Fry’s Mythos and Neil Gaiman’s Norse Mythology are both excellent
I’m going to assume you’re familiar with Neil Gaiman’s work, right? Because if not, oh boy are you going to be happy.
