Bucks County Free Library: 7 Books Based On Ancient Myths

Press release from the Bucks County Free Library:

October 10, 2022

Storytelling has been a tradition amongst civilizations all over the world as an oratory act long before the written word came into play. In fact, most ancient mythologies were traditionally told in the form of epic poems, plays, songs and dances.

Today, these ancient myths are often retold either with a modern twist or from the perspective of a character who was overlooked in the original story. From adult fiction to teen romances to juvenile adventure, these epics have been adapted for every type of reader. Here’s a selection of mythical tales nestled in the shelves at Bucks County Free Library.

For e-books and audiobooks like these, browse the Once Upon a Twist shelf on the cloudLibrary app.
