i just finished Song of Achilles. before that I read the first two parts of Hiearchy series and a few books of Red rising series.
I would love to read read more mythological pieces, true to original sources. Homer would be the obvious choice, but I am afraid that the old prose will turn me off from reading it. I read Antigone and Oedipus not long ago, but I was struggling a bit getting trough it.
Any suggestion?

You could dive into the Greek mythology books by Stephen Fry. They stay pretty close to the source material, but with updated storytelling. Fry’s style isn’t for everyone, but I liked it.
Circe by Madeline Miller (the same author as the song of achilles)
