Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis

S. Lewis reworks the myth of Cupid and Psyche, delving into the inner lives and motivations of its characters while casting ancient legend in a new, thought-provoking light.

Miller brings the entire mythic world to life, immersing you in the relationships and conflicts of a legendary age.
... epic-scale adventures spanning lands, seas, and mythic realms?
The Odyssey by Homer
If you loved the sweeping, continent-crossing adventure of Jason’s quest for the Golden Fleece, The Odyssey is the original epic journey. Odysseus’s voyage home is filled with monsters, gods, and perils, echoing the grand, dangerous scale and mythic resonance that made The Golden Fleece so enthralling.
... deep psychological insight and growth of mythological characters?
Circe by Madeline Miller
If Medea’s transformation and the inner struggles of the Argonauts fascinated you in The Golden Fleece, then Circe will resonate deeply. Miller reinvents the legendary witch from Greek myth, exploring her exile, evolution, and power with a focus on her emotional and psychological development throughout the ages.
... detailed worldbuilding of ancient worlds and mythic societies?
Lavinia by Ursula K. Le Guin
If you found yourself immersed in the lush, carefully reconstructed world of ancient Greece in The Golden Fleece, Le Guin’s Lavinia offers a similarly rich tapestry.
