The more Greek myth retellings I read, the more obvious it is that we’ve now entered the 2nd wave of retellings. There has become a clear divide between those who know their mythology, and those authors who have clearly panicked when the publishers have asked for something new.

Reading the script for Troy (2004) is genuinely hilarious. The amount of names Benioff made up for this film is truly shocking (borderline impressive?) considering he had about 200 to choose from in the Iliad alone.
