How have contemporary authors reimagined and retold myths? In the last two years I have led a book group focused on authors who have re-examined Greek myths from the female perspective. Now I want to look at the re-telling of myths from other perspectives to find out how they remain relevant and interesting. And read some good stories! Each month we shall read and discuss one novel, sharing thoughts and ideas with the group. I shall provide some background on the original myth for each session, so there is no absolute need for you to be familiar with the myths before the class. The first book we shall read is 'The Song of Achilles' by Madeline Miller. ISBN 978-0062060624.
