Some of the oldest stories/texts in the world

When gods were real and heroes walked the earth, these stories were everything.

If you like The Odyssey, The Iliad, and crave more knowledge on mythological epics told around the world - this list is for you! As much as I love the existing quests and lists around Greco-Roman mythology and its retellings, it fuelled the flame to read other epics that are overshadowed by Greek/Roman/Norse mythology. Start exploring! May you be blessed by the Gods/Goddesses, traveller!

A study of the past

A personal study in gothic lit, fantasy, mythology, and the writing of it.

The books in this list are a compilation of the ancient and classical texts from around the world. Whether you are looking for a good translation or curious about ancient texts and authors, like Homer and his Illiad and Odyssey, then this is where you can come to satiate your curiosity for the ancients. Please let me know if there are any I have missed!

90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin books. No particular order as there is no need. I will try and input the actual cover. This is such an amazing collection of works from literally 90 authors, the perfect way to try new genres and find your next fave author.

Texts and books from the Middle Ages

Some sources, some retellings, and some mythology-based fantasy.

The Shadow on the Horizon “They tell us the world was built for us, but the bones in the earth suggest otherwise. Before the cities, before the kings, there were the High Walkers. Some were made of stone, some of cloud, and some of a hunger that could swallow a village. We call them... Giants.”

Chapter 1: The Giants of Old (Myth & Legend) The foundational stories that defined the "Big Man" in our collective dreams.

Don't forget about the fables and cautionary tales. The cornerstones of literature.
