Anyone else feel like there aren't any good modern interpretations in media?
I feel like there isn't a single good modern interpretation of Greek mythology that is entertaining, well-written, and accurate. Almost all of the time it just ends up being a poorly written fantasy/romantasy thing with Greek mythology that often times romanticize SA.
*Lore Olympus* by Rachel Smythe and *Circe* by Madeline Miller share the same problem of being "feminist" retellings that add in SA to be used as a plot device, with the end products being less feminist than their respective source materials.
*Percy Jackson* by Rick Riodan pissed me off on a spiritual level and I could write a dissertation about how it represents everything wrong with modern interpretations of Greek myths.
I have absolutely no expectations for Christopher Nolan's interpretation of *The Odyssey* for obvious reasons.
I did enjoy *EPIC the Musical* by Jorge Rivera-Herrans a lot as a piece of art, but it's inaccuracies and erasure of SA do bother me.
I don't need to explain how Disney's *Hercules* is inaccurate, even if it is one of my favorite Disney movies of all time.
I also just hate the general Tumblr-fication of Greek mythology (ex: Hades was a loving husband who did nothing wrong, Ares was a feminist, etc.).
If anyone has any **good** recommendations for Greek mythology interpretations aside from the actual myths themselves, I would love to hear it.
