Don’t you like romance stories? They’re everywhere – in poetry, music lyrics, and classic novels, to name a few. But, you can also find romance in Greek myths.
Greek mythology is vast and extensive. My first look at it was probably in Percy JacksonRick Riordan’s book series, but I couldn’t leave it there, you know? When I set out to learn more about the gods, goddesses, and mortal beings who star in these mythological stories, I found an impressive amount of material available. Since the romance genre is close to my heart, I wanted to focus even more on the love stories involving these divine personalities. It’s a good thing that there are romance novels that reinterpret the Greek myths and give them a new take!
