The rewriting of classical myths by Anglophone women writers is gaining momentum recently.This is particularly evident in the emergence of a recurrent pattern in bookshops-shelves are packed with titles such as Madeline Miller's The Song of Achilles (2011) and Circe (2018), Pat Barker's The Silence of the Girls (2018) and The Women of Troy (2021) or Natalie Haynes's A Thousand Ships (2019), to cite only a few examples.This transnational phenomenon is not simply a transient commercial success or a fashionable trend, but rather a shared and long-standing feminist project which has been evolving across the last half-century.Although it is in recent years that rewritings of Graeco-Roman myths have flourished, the rewriting of myths and fairytales is not a twenty-first century phenomenon, but rather a long-standing literary genre and a hallmark of Postmodernism, spanning from the 1960s to the early 2000s.The volume edited by
