Ancient Mythology in Modern Fantasy and Science Fiction
How do you blend ancient myths into a novel while still keeping the book fresh and modern? What are some examples of authors who do this successfully? Which myths have been overdone or underexplored? What is important to leave out to keep from bogging down the story? What should you put in to flesh things out?
