Song of Achilles: Homeric fan fiction (obvs.)

[kouredios]

I just finished Madeline Miller's Song of Achilles, which is a lovely rewrite of Homer (and much that falls outside of Homer) from Patroklos's POV. I have quibbles, but then I always do. It is in many ways a very similar take to my own, and any differences I have are minor

I finally came upon Margaret Atwood's "The Penelopiad," which I somehow missed when it came out. Nice perspective from the one who stayed behind.
