Great Modern Fiction Set in the Ancient World - Page 3

Our recently retired English teacher considers the current popularity of the retelling of myths in contemporary fiction, and then expanded his focus to look at quality modern fiction that is set in the ancient world. Here are 101 novels and plays that treat ancient history and ancient myth seriously and are well worth reading. Our compiler has included works whose settings range from prehistoric times to the fall of Rome, and that encompass both legend and history.
