What are some other myths or legends you'd like to see with a modern retelling?

I think a very cool retelling of a myth/legend would be one about the Norse Gods, but NOT in a Marvel Capacity. I would especially like one about Loki - the trickster god, because he is such an interesting entity in Norse mythology.

I hope you read Magnus Chase series by Rick Riordan. It is such a fun series based on Norse Mythology.

I absolutely loved this version on Nimue! The way Sullivan merges the old ways with the new is just amazing.

I would personally love to see a modern take on Egyptian mythology. There are so many different great myths that it could become a fantastic series. Or even a modern take on Cleopatra. Ancient Egyptian history is full of magic and mysteries. Someone could make a killing writing a series about the gods and goddess!

I am fascinated by Egyptian mythology. Hope you have read Kane Chronicles by Rick Riordan. I learned a lot about Egyptian gods through that series.

I have not read that series. I'll definitely add it to the TBR stack! I've been reading books about mythology since I was old enough to read. Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Norse, Arthurian, and American folklore are some of my favorites! I even wrote a paper on hieroglyphics in highschool.

Perhaps a modern take of Eros' adventures in a comical manner, until he met Psyche and falls in love. Or, it could be an 'Ocean's Eleven'-like approach to the abduction of Helen of Troy.

Neil Gaiman did that in his novels American Gods and Anansi Boys.

[Jennifer Coxon]

I do enjoy stories that relate to myths and legends. I would like to see more of the lesser known Roman and Greek Gods and Goddesses and their back stories or interactions with the human race.

Here are a few myths and legends I think could be interesting with a modern retelling: The myth of Icarus - The classic story of Icarus flying too close to the sun could be retold with Icarus as a scientist going too far with an experimental aircraft or technology. His unchecked ambition leads to consequences but the themes still resonate.

[Amandaruth Ama]

The epic of Gilgamesh - The ancient Mesopotamian tale of adventure, gods and a quest for immortality could be updated as a sci-fi story with Gilgamesh seeking eternal life through advanced technology. It allows exploring those same ideas about human nature in a futuristic setting.

[Amandaruth Ama]

Scheherazade's Arabian Nights - Famous for stories within stories, this collection from the Middle East could be modernized with Scheherazade as a blogger or podcaster relating fantastical modern tales interwoven with her own story of staying alive. The frame narrative device would adapt well.

[Amandaruth Ama]

Native American folktales - Many tribes have wonderful legends full of anthropomorphic animals and magical beings. Bringing those into a contemporary setting as imaginary creatures interacting in the modern world could make for some unique and engaging new stories.

[Sara Rispo]

In my opinion, any book that combines mythology, magic, and adventure is an absolute must-read. I strongly believe that we can learn about cultures of other civilizations from these kinds of books, even if they are not always completely accurate. Anyway, I'd love to read a retelling of Norse gods, but also something about Mayan gods. It would be something new to me.

[Catalina Isabel]

I would love some around Greek mythology, and also of Maui - living in New Zealand, I hear a lot about Maui's stories but all books I've seen are aimed at children.

[Chioma Oz]

I believe an intriguing reimagining of a myth or legend would revolve around Norse Gods, but with a departure from the Marvel interpretation. I'm particularly drawn to the idea of exploring Loki, the enigmatic trickster god, given his captivating role in Norse mythology.

[Sameeha Ismail]

One of my favorite genres is mythology. While I was reading Circe by Madeline Miller, I found the character of Hermis to be very amusing, and I wanted to read more about him. But I could not find any sperate work on him. So, looking forward to reading more about Hermis in a modern retelling.

[Somtochukwu O Ezeme]

I would like to read about Zeus and Hades. I want to know the reason behind the power and zest of these two. I would love to see books that discuss them in detail .
