Hi everyone
I’m looking for recommendations for novels that are either set in ancient Greece (historical accuracy not required), or one whose main character is pledged/bound to a pact made with a superior entity (divine/elemental/magical/…).
Bonus points if you happen to know of a novel which combines boths of these tropes.
It can be fantasy or realistic, I don’t mind either.
Thanks for your recommendations!
I love Madeline Miller’s books set in Ancient Greece. The Song of Achilles is set during the Trojan War, and Circe explores several Greek myths through Circe’s perspective. The Song of Achilles definitely made me tear up at some points, and really made the inclusion of Patroclus and Achilles in the game Hades hit way harder for me.
The song of Achilles is an amazing book.
