Percy Jackson like?

Post by Falling4Ever »

I really enjoyed the Percy Jackson series and I was wondering if anyone knew any other series like it. I've read most of Rick Riordan's books, but maybe something Percy Jackson like from a different author might be interesting.

I've never read Percy Jackson, but I studied ancient Greek and Roman literature in college, and thus, have been told to read Percy Jackson, because I absolutely love The Iliad.

So...The Iliad? The Odyssey?

There are also some modern twists to these epics coming out, which are on my list, that I haven't read yet.

Circe by Madeline Miller

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

There's: A Thousand Ships, which tells The Iliad from a female perspective, by Natalie Haynes.

John Dolan wrote a much more readable version of The Iliad. It's a prose version. However, I wasn't a fan, but it does make the epic easier to understand. It's called The War Nerd Iliad.
